I think home ownership is a good aspiration to have. Just like 'working for yourself' is something a lot of people would like to achieve, 'owning your own home' features on the list. It's also good for society, giving people more of an incentive to look after their home, their surroundings and to take an active part in society. As well as removing some of the separation of society - land owners, and renters. Being less likely to move around has its good points as well as bad.
