Honestly what on Earth are you talking about??? Your logic is not clear at all, and if you're truly trying to claim that less people want to own houses then you need to make an argument because that is an outrageous claim.
Short term rentals specifically drive down demand. No need for a vacation house when you can rent. They drive down supply, but presumably the same number of people what to to live in a house
This only illustrates that you don't know what demand is, in the context of economics.
A careful glance at any of the academic research around housing corroborates this. Or, any modicum of common sense
Not even close
>Far fewer married people, many want to live in apartments
This has nothing to do with owning a home.
>others enjoy renting houses for a few years at a far cheaper rate than being locked into a dwelling
Source? In my 40 years on this Earth, I have not once met a single person in such a condition for more than a few years at most.

Bullshit. Show me a single instance of such research. You are making some truly outrageous claims.
