>because eventually you wind up with a situation where no one even has the option of buying their own house.

How did you make it do this conclusion? Renting is legal all over the place and that scenario has happened literally nowhere.

Except nyc, sf, LA, seattle, vancouver, ... etc where home affordability means multiple families in one condo.

While true, that's completely orthogonal to pathseeker's point, which is about legality rather than affordability.

Because no one in those areas can buy their own house.

I'm supporting the point pathseeker was arguing against.
