I have never met a single person who doesn’t want to own a house because they’d have to maintain it
I am so sorry to break it to you but this is actually a thing. I’ve met one person who proudly talks about selling their house in favor of renting because it’s stress free.
In my town there is this company that buys houses from people and then rents that house back to them. They run ads that say they will become your landlord and worry about all the maintenance. And its “great” because you don’t even have to move.
Owning a building (your house) is definitely a lot of extra work, and something that a lot of people just don’t want in their lives. Or maybe you just can’t keep up with cleaning and maitenance if you’re older or disabled. The frustrating thing is the way that gets turned into an argument against the affordability of housing, and as a way to dismiss complaints about exploitative relationship between landlords and renters.
Which is why all rentals properties should be nationalized
