There are undeniable benefits to renting. I rent. It's still a for-profit business in the end, though, and per capitalism, they'll fuck you as hard as you let them.
But I also fuck them as hard as they let me. And in my city and state, which have very strong tenants' rights protections, my fucking goes a long way.
Good on you.
It's hard for most people who see rent rise faster than salary. Which is the case for most of the United States.
