Also for consideration is the ability to pay your property taxes and school taxes.

Don't kid yourself. Those taxes are included in your rent.

I don't deny that, you're right but at least you do not have to worry about them directly. In a way, we all rent with having those taxes. We need to get rid of property taxes and school taxes completely then perhaps it would be better to own for some. I think a good start is to eliminate those taxes for seniors at least and I think there should be other ways to fund schools locally. Maybe have middle ground solution is to only have taxes when the property is mortgaged and let the escrow take care of that until the mortgage is paid off and there are no more taxes after that.

What mortgage? Some folks own their place outright.
