Not really. Sorry, you're argument fails on its face.
Rental cost? Rent which includes water, garbage, recycling, building maintenance, heat and gas.
No lawn maintenance costs. No boiler costs. No painting costs. No repair costs. No snow removal. No driveway maintenance, no sidewalk maintenance. No plumbing costs.
I've had ceiling damage - and it was repaired at no cost to me. I needed a plumber - it was fixed at no cost to me. The boiler needed fixing - no cost to me, repaired. New electrical outlets and rewiring - no cost. New Elevator - no cost. New paint job - no cost.
No property taxes. (They are high here and the deductible isn't that large.)
Pets are actually allowed in my building (I just don't own them - allergic). So not an issue - and it's never been one. Also, I'd never own them.
So, sorry, still cheaper. Also, my mother pays three times what I pay. As do my Aunts and brother.
I'm rent stabilized. It only goes up 1-4 % if that.
