A Growing Problem in Real Estate: Too Many Too Big Houses

True, but from my perspective moving is a small, point in time hassle that you go through every couple years as a renter, as opposed to a lifelong stream of issues that you have to deal with as a homeowner.

If the rent is going up where you live, it’s probably going up everywhere else you would want to live in lockstep.

And from my perspective moving is an enormous hassle. Multiple vehicles, recreational vehicles, even a project car, and then of course a garage full of tools. Thousands of pounds of weights and gym equipment. King size latex beds that weigh a small ton, 4 beds altogether. Couches, dressers, half a dozen large TV's, file cabinets, a six-monitor desktop setup. Moving once a decade is more than enough, thanks.

Oh, I forgot that benefit of renting!

* As my ol' granma used to say, two moves is the same as a fire. New furniture all around!
