Renting is underrated, especially in the US I feel where people are constantly encouraged to buy a house. https://www.iwillteachyoutoberich.com/renting-is-not-a-waste...
Where do you draw the limit? Because you could justify being a forever renter about anything with your logic.
Being a forever renter is being dependent on the whim of those who lend you "your" stuff. It's only natural that many people do not want that kind of lifestyle.
Are they happy?

Buying a place to live is ridiculously affordable in US comparing to other developed nations.

This is exactly what they turn us into: subscribers. They want us to keep paying them month after month, year after year a portion of our earnings forever. It’s the exact definition of indentured servant. It’s insidious and evil.
Who is "they" here, beyond the typical business person?
I’m not wealthy by the standards discussed in the article but I’m a forever renter (a different kind than those in the article). I like living in dense cities, I dislike large living spaces, and I dislike being responsible for anything or doing any maintenance. Renting a small cheap apartment is something that fits my lifestyle and lets me do quite well financially.
> I dislike being responsible for anything or doing any maintenance Unfortunately so do a lot of property owners who rent out the spaces.
