This is totally a biased article against home ownership. Not one positive toward home ownership...I can't believe the author would be so biased.

  One could write a similarly ridiculous article about how renting is flushing your money down the drain, you're paying someone else's mortgage, etc. Worrying about the rent going up, hoping your landlord isn't too much of a scumbag, and so on. Sure, a house is not a great investment. But there's more to housing than investment. You have to live somewhere, and you're probably going to be paying for it one way or another. There's no perfect solution--you have to figure out what works for you. We bought this house nine years ago, and hope that we never have to move again. Now the mortgage is about half of what it would cost to rent an apartment in this neighborhood. That's kind of a trap, too. There's no point to thinking about moving--there's no place we could go that would be cheaper than what we have unless we leave the area entirely.
