A comment on Public-ownership rental as a third option to renting or owning a house. Parent comment
* Price to rent ratio very high, just need somewhere to live.
* Achieving ownership requires moving to sprawl and taking on a ruinous car commute.
* Ownership used to justify overspending on housing because "it's an investment."
* Need to go broke to scrape together the down payment.
* Don't reliably earn enough to pay the mortgage, and no savings.
* Don't have the temperament or the means to do maintenance.
