Interesting comment. Never in my life or travels have I met anoybody who attached stigma to renting a place.
- JSDave 9y agoI think it's more common among the very wealthy. When part of the appeal is flaunting your wealth, renting is probably not the way to go. I think a 1000k 1 bed condo is comparable to a 200k car in that it isn't just a place to stay or a way to get from A to B.
- ghostly_s 9y agoIn the small city where I grew up there is definitely a stigma attached to renting. The pool of rental housing is very small and poor quality/low-rent, so renting implies not having "made it".
