You can own an apartment
You can own an apartment
You can own a condo and normally people don't consider this to be homeownership
I consider it homeownership? Everyone in my millennial cohort in NYC considers that homeownership? You seem to have it all figured out but honestly your assessment of what is "normal" does not reflect my experience at all
Also we have co-ops here in addition to condos. In case you think the governance structure matters
I think that's fine, but like most people do not live in New York, and consider owning land to be an implicit part of homeownership, and that's what I'm opposed to, is mass ownership of single family detached units.
I guess "most American voters." Consider owning land to be a part of homeownership, and I want to end mass landowning. I want nearly everybody to live ten minutes from a park and a grocery store.
Under midwestern social norms, if your dwelling isn't both owner-occupied and single-family, you will be severely marginalized. "Apartment vs. home" is literally used as a dichotomy here. Mass transit is also despised. Carlessness is almost as déclassé as homelessness.
I don't know why you think that, but it's very interesting!
because the suburban home is a neo-homestead. the plot of land got smaller but the idea is basically the same
At some point the fact of land ownership is purely symbolic. I think we've passed that point.
