I don’t regret buying a house but I assumed I would. The great house price crash was waiting for me to buy, so I thought… still it is a shallow win to see others suffering with rent prices.

I was avoiding living on the edge all my life, so it doesn’t hit that hard, but yeah, all housing markets are insane atm. I feel for those who only start living nowadays.

I do regret it, wish I'd bought a condo. Lawns are bogus and I don't need 4 external walls

The lawn is there so that no one else uses that space. It keeps your neighbours at a distance.

So sell your house and buy that condo

Great idea! I need to go through my Decisions list and iterate on it.

Well, I'm not sure I agree that you can draw conclusions like that if you don't take an action. Or maybe more accurately, it may not help others to know that you regret not buying a house. You're writing based on part of the financial side of the decision. Some people don't like the time and money they have to put into maintenance of a house. Taxes, insurance, and maintenance costs are all rising. Some people are surprised how much they like the freedom of doing what they want with their house. You only learn those things by going through the experience.
