I think you're really missing the mark on 4. This is not about enjoying home improvement as a hobby, it's about being allowed to improve your own living conditions.

I can do whatever I want with my property, within building codes, without having to ask a landlord. Want to knock down a wall, upgrade the stove to gas, build a shed in the backyard? You have the freedom. If my faucet is leaking, I don't have to beg someone to send a plumber.

Try owning in SF, where it's impossible to get a plumber to come out for a small job, but a big enough landlord will have a guy that can come reasonably quickly.
