you have to live somewhere.

maybe you rent, but renters DGAF about the local community the way that homeowners do.

home (property) taxes also fund a lot local services, schools, etc. you want prices higher and stable, and not dominated too heavily by mega-corps that will weasel out of paying said taxes.

I've rented in my town for ten years, and I care about it a lot thank you very much.

Renters absolutely care about the local community.
