Not sure what this is implying. I personally know a few others (myself included) who have been working to get a house but stuck in the rent going up/cost of homes going up cycle. I feel (opinion) that most people would rather have a home instead of renting.

Many states have first-time homebuyers programs that will absolutely shunt the issue of transitioning to Rent/homebuying. Most people are too lazy or stupid to take the initiative though. Every person I have talked to about renting vs home owning has always managed to make excuses why they can't do something, instead of working to make it happen. It's daunting as fuck, for sure - but it's possible if you scrimp and do without for a while. That short-term of doing without, ultimately ends up with you paying into something you OWN. You're building your personal equity with a house, and many people will argue against that because of learned helplessness.
