Of course if you look at it over 30 years it looks like a no brainer but what percentage of renters ever live in a place 30 years? It's simply unrealistic and completely changes the math if you were to look at it on a more realistic scale.

It makes the math less, but it's still a significant advantage to the home owner, even if the family only stays there 5 years.
