And by the way - what do you think causes the financial risk of home ownership

Accidents, subpar maintenance, market changes, divorce.

That's cute, but also not how any of this works.

I suggest https://www.amazon.com/Basic-Economics-Thomas-Sowell/dp/0465060730 -- it's 700 pages but I'm sure you can do it if you put some effort in.
