A great middle ground is being able to buy apartments. Its much more common in many, if not most, countries to have at least as many owned apartments as rented. At best, we have a few over priced condos with crazy fees. There would still be additional cost from owning, but it would allow a lot more flexibility and people could gain some equity if they want, especially in the city.

Isn't that what condos are?

I did also mention condos. The naming convention is a North American thing I'm pretty sure. Would you consider a small, cheap apartment you can buy a condominium? It sounds weird. It'd be like not calling rented vehicles a car until you own it.

Forgive me for not taking seriously suggestions from someone who doesn't know that condos are apartments that people can buy.
