none of that matters though to the true definition of ownership which is complete control over the object

people.seem.to want to identify as an owner as it makes them feel good.



youre getting stuck in semantics. if you own a house in the US you still pay property tax and are subject to the rules and regulations around it anyway. the point of these stats is to know who is a renter and who has property they own.


I completely agree.

After you pay off the bank you STILL don't own the property thanks to the government who can take it away.

a homeowner is merely a serf for the government property taxes.
