You can't fathom that someone might not want an ownership stake in the property they happen to reside in, that there could possibly be a downside to that.
It's funny that people rarely seem to apply the same reasoning to their dwelling place.
And that's before you get to things like the furnace going, or the roof failing. Two kinds of people with this "landlords provide absolutely no services" perspective: people so comfortable financially that the y-o-y costs of maintaining a property don't even register, and renters who have never owned and been on the hook for an urgent big-ticket maintenance problem.
What about the fact that most homeowners get the vast majority of the money for said purchase from a (presumably ruthless) corporation?
