Who in the hell ever said renting was better? Since the advent of money it has been a losing proposition to continuously pay for something you won't own. The only people pushing for renting over owning are the landlords.

The only people pushing for renting over owning are the landlords.

And the media they own or owned by others that share similar class interests.

Of the renting units were provided by the government as a non-profit, renting would actually have made sense.

But now instead, it's just because you cannot afford the upfront capital.

I mean, if you search online you can find articles that talk about the pros of renting. I'm assuming those same points have been said before.
