Expecting to own the building and land on which you live and from which you contribute to society is a product of indoctrination? That makes sense if you're completely against land-ownership (which is, on the surface, a reasonable idea), but surely accepting the only current alternative (paying rent) is the product of an even more sinister form of indoctrination?

I'm for homeownership, but that doesn't mean the expectation is based in reality. People grew up on media that had a distorted picture of life that was never true or a broad swath of the population
