U.S. house prices are rising exponentially faster than income

I lived in apartments for a while (although not in cities).

Another thing is that they would need to inspect the apartment once in a while (with notice) to make sure you aren’t damaging it. Even with notice it is intrusive.

I am sooo much happier owning a house. I got so sick of white walls I couldn’t paint and the inability to have certain hobbies (woodworking? musical instruments? Not in any apartment I’ve been in)

You’re describing the difference between renting and buying, not apartments and houses.

You can buy apartments and rent houses, so they shouldn’t be conflated.

I suppose that's true. I usually live in college towns, where buying apartments is rare or impossible, so for me apartments were always rented.
