And then in 10+ years, we legally own the house and it's an ever growing asset.

Especially in places that have become more urbanized. Depending where a couple bought their house 50 years ago, they could be millionaires now.

My grandmother owns a rent controlled apartment somewhere in NYC. The average rent for her AREA is $4,000 a month. She pays around $600 a month. The owners have been trying to buy her out or find a reason to evict her for the past 10 years, but due to the clause they signed, her rent control is in effect for the entirety of her span living in that apartment; EVEN if she re-news the lease with them. It's insane and I've been telling her for years to move to a newer less expensive state(they've offered her upwards of $200,000 to buy her out of there)
