I mean, what I'd PREFERABLY like to see is a model like in large parts of Europe, where if you rent long enough, you are considered to own the apartment you're normally renting. You still have to maintain it, but you do not have to necessarily pay rent (to my knowledge). I'd like to see more paths to owning your own space that is not necessarily a house - things like buying an apartment outright or a long-term lease that's much harder to evict someone out of when you decide the rent needs to go up another $250.
