That’s a fine sentiment about people not wanting to own, but for some reason I know that students would prefer to own a place to live in, if they could afford one. Same with the rest of groups, if it didn’t cost that much people would buy, maintain, and sell for about the same price when moving
You have to introduce me to a student wanting to buy. It’s not an age where the large majority is thinking to settle down. I won’t go into the having the means for it.
Buying a house implies putting down roots. The groups I’ve mentioned are the closest there are today to nomads. Makes no sense for a person that knows they will be spending from a few months to perhaps a year or two in a place to buy.
It truly does. I was of college age once and the main objective, after getting in college, was to go to a college far enough to be free of the family shadow. Whatever came after, was to be thought about later on.
I lived in the capital then and a good portion of the students going to college there came from the rest of the country. The locals, unless they were aiming for a specific degree in a specific college, would go away if possible. The start of the college year had an unofficial nickname: The Great Migration. Small towns and villages inland would be devoided of young people and the smaller urban areas with campus got flooded with new faces.
But college was a chance to go or get away. Not a plan for life.

I guess it does come as a surprise that some people go to study in a place they want to live in?
