Why would anyone want to be a renter in a free world? You can’t choose who your neighbors are, don’t control your financial situation for more than a year or two, and you can’t even take advantage of whatever tax breaks there are for homeowners any more.

And if your neighbor sells his home to a jerk?

Your neighbor isn’t going to be on the floor above you, nor the floor below you. Even in a duplex, condo, etc. you usually still have separate parking, separate entrances and some real estate between you.

You can’t honestly expect to convince someone that renting in an apartment building is the same as a landed detached house.
