There are more options beyond "own a house" and "pay someone else's mortgage without getting any equity"

  Could you give some examples?

    Within capitalism, we could have some kind of system to provide equity to tenants. They are effectively already paying a mortgage (just not their own). Outside of capitalism? Many more possibilities.

      > we could have some kind of system to provide equity to tenants This sounds interesting. Is this hypothetical? How does that equity get transferred/slowly leaked to the next tenant? How does one liquify it?

        I don't know how such a system would work exactly, but I know it would require that we stop treating houses like speculative assets and start treating them like a basic need (shelter).
