Nothing come close to owning a basic shelter not renting, it is difficult to go homeless when you own a building, the more homeless people out there are those who paid rentals, by the time the money doesn't come as it used to and unable to pay up the rent, they will be forced to vacate the house, and it will extend to them selling properties.

In my country, if they don't build they buy and become the owner. Most people also exaggerate the kind of crib they want making them pay rent for life time while holding the thoughts, i also live in a country where the money gathered for 5 years of rent can equally build a comfortable house.
