Taking away ownership isn't what this would do though? Honestly I don't even understand how you came to that conclusion.

In the US, condo/apartment ownership is very rare by volume compared to rental apartments. I'm saying that rental apartments should not be the substitution of choice for single-family homes.

There are pros and cons. Renting can be a great choice. If you cash out refinance your house often as many do, then an apartment probably was the better long term choice.
