Owning isn't worse with rent and real estate increases are as dramatic as what has happened in the SF bay area over the last ten years. I was very lucky to buy towards the end of the dip in 2013 and my mortgage on a 2-bedroom 2-bath house with a yard is now significantly less than what I would have be renting it for now.
