That mostly works for me.
Though there are a lot of urban areas where there are more renters then homeowners. For example if I got transfered to New York City I seriously doubt I would buy, I would rent.
I don’t think I should lose my franchise for that personal economic decision.
To me working, earning a living is the primary characterisitc to emphasize.
Though what about retirees where the majority of the income coems from social security?
I would consider renting to be equal to purchasing. After all, you are just paying the bill for someone else who is purchasing, and it is considered ‘a home’ for you.
Retirees have the ‘proof’ that they did have a job, and are taxpayers, so they still would qualify.
I know the whole concept can get really messy in the details.
I was just proposing some basic guidelines and the final outcome would involve a lot of ‘exceptions’. Nothing is ever as simple as we would like it to be.
