How is that not true anymore? Here in the UK home ownership is increasingly a dream for the younger people so guess what - you're 100% reliant on work/pay to make rent on a home and to have stability for your family
What the image mentions was true for a few decades and for a minority of humans only. Home ownership is still at a very high level compared to what it was even 100 years ago. Hell, you should know that if you're from the UK, people used to live in towns that were developed and owned by the factory owners, that's how they managed to move people from rural regions to the city so quickly, outside of that, housing in the city was no better than the slums we see all over the world these days.
If you go back far enough, weren't 100% of homes privately owned?
No. That was never a thing.
Pretty sure that from the moment we got organized as a society with a leading class, home ownership hasn't been 100%. At the same time it's the fact that civilization exists that lead us to the point we're at now instead of us still being hunter-gatherers...
