Simple. People desire to own what they pay for, and they prefer not having to hear their neighbors partying, arguing, fighting, fucking, etc.
Sound proof walls are a thing, as is owning a single apartment. It works pretty well.
Also this idea of owning is just bs. Most of the money goes to a bank in form of a mortgage intrest. Once you paid that off, the children leave the house and you are stuck with a property designed for a larger family. Much better to move to a smaller space at that point, which is cheaper and easier to maintain. That is not even talking about the option of moving to a better job or something similar. Selling and buying a house can easily cost a years worth of rent.
Decomodified housing, like housing cooperatives solve a lot of the renting problems.
Never heard of such a thing myself.
They're genuinely amazing, especially when you learn how they're built. Little changes to wall design make a crazy big difference.
Not to people who live in properties whose walls are already built without such design considerations.
Well, duh?
