Honestly, the only reason I want to own is because I have gotten too old, out of shape, and fat to move most of my furniture myself, and I am not sure I can afford a mover, so I want the security that I am on a straight and narrow that doesn't have the constant looming threat of the owner going "yeah… I'm just not gonna renew the lease" even though I am still somehow keeping up with the payments.

Well if the studies are correct that will happen sooner than if you own.

Always a silver lining /s
