    i find this misleading, both because some countries have renter’s rights laws that mean renting is perfectly reliable, and because housing co-ops and municipal landlords exist and living in those places is i would argue better than owning a house.

      sure, we have renter rights to be sucked dry by parasites who increase rent incrementally instead of suddenly oooh wow

      the low percentage in germany is due to ownership being unfeasable for most people thanks to some fuckers gobbling it all up to rent it out …or let it rot until they can sell it for more.
