I can't tell other people what they should do, but I'm very happy I own my home. I have a 3% interest rate and got a great deal because of the recession. I also own pets and don't have to stress about what some landlord thinks about that. My rent isn't going to go up. People in SF are signing 2 year leases just to get into an apartment. Do they really have more freedom to move? I'm free to do things like build raised bed gardens and rainwater irrigation systems. We just made our house way more energy efficient because we are environmentalists. If a landlord would even allow me to do those things, it would still be pointless because I'd just be making his house nicer, not mine.
