Why do we dream of homeownership?
It’s what we do in the UK – we dream of owning bricks and mortar. It’s seen as a badge of stability, security and success. It’s become part of our culture that we pity the poor renter who can’t afford to buy. Maybe one day they’ll have the deposit saved and will be able to join the ranks of those saddled with a mortgage and a huge pile of responsibilities.
