@elduvelle You're right to feel nervous; owning anything brings (or should) responsibility, if only for disposing of it. But we live in a world where taxable inefficiencies drive the economy, so shared- and public-ownership, even of natural monopolies, is rare, leaving us the choice of living with threats of eviction and rent-rises or mortgaging ourselves to financiers. I bought a flat and resented it but I resented my landlords more. So I'm less resentful now but that's not the same as happy.
