If preference against renting is cultural, what cultures celebrate renting over ownership?
- whimsicalism 3y agoMy personal culture that I adhere to. That said, I mentioned stigma, I didn't say anything about culture - and I'm not sure why it is at all relevant to my point.
- medvezhenok 3y agoRenting is much more common in Europe and renters have significantly more rights. This is because much more wealth in Europe is generational (although we are quickly moving in that direction in the U.S. as well). Some European countries have things like the imputed rent tax (basically taxing homeowners as if they were renting their own home). This goes a long way towards balancing the scales between homeowners & renters.
