First let me say that I own property and have since I was 21. Having said that, let me say that this article is a load of crap written by a self-serving real estate agent who is bemoaning the fact that younger adults today aren't rushing out to buy homes like baby-boomers before them. (Prior to the end of WWII home ownership was much lower than it is today). Liberty is not measured by whether someone owns or rents. According to my online dictionary, liberty is "the state of being free within society from oppressive restrictions imposed by authority on one's way of life, behavior, or political views." Only someone who has something to gain by people buying homes would make such a ridiculous correlation.
