Plenty of people buy without becoming invested in the community and plenty of people rent who are invested in the community. I suspect it depends upon both the personality of the person and where they are in life. Even then, suggesting that someone doesn't want to be invested in their community because their views on what community means differs from yours is liable to be biased. For example, I often hear people criticizing students as being transient, yet they are frequently interested in contributing to the development of the communities in wbich they live. Yet you cannot expect their vision to be the same as someone who is midcareer and has children.
