Buying is always better than renting.

So a renter who bought in 2007 at the top for $300k, and then had a house worth $200k in 2010, why was that better?

No it isn't. Owning is frequently better then renting but a house can be a boat anchor and buying is almost always riskier than renting. I wouldn't advise a young person to buy.
