You can hire people to do those things and if home ownership were affordable, you would likely be able to afford to pay people to do those things and have it all even out to being around the same as renting.
No thanks. No interest in worrying about upkeep or saving $$ to replace my roof in "x" amount of years. And, as others have mentioned. I've moved a few times without any hassle about trying to sell/buy. People that insist on home ownership are annoying as shit.
I'm not insisting anyone buy a home. I'm just saying the reason you gave would not be a reason to not buy one if prices were equitable.
Sure it is. Why would I want to deal with finding a good landscaper or other service providers, eg: plumber?
I don't care about price equality. I straight up don't want to think about it.
Okay, but why shouldn't that be an affordable option for others? Shouldn't you be able to afford a home and such services just like you could afford to rent if things were more equitable?
I'm not talking about others. Just explaining my position. I'm not here to debate the issue.
