This is a great point, although I'm suspicious of the "no everyone wants to own" line as it is used by the landlord lobby to justify not doing anything to address these problems.

So many of our cultural values and economy have been structured around the idea of owning your residence (even the term "home ownership" has a suburban bias that's how deep it is) it may be more practical to make it a real option for more people.
