The biggest advantage to owning your home in the US is that you're buying your way into a political constituency.

There are only a few parts of the country where renters are organized enough to have anything close to that level of clout as a local interest group, and even then they rarely get the same consideration in state politics.

That's changing, but only slowly. How many renters are in your state legislature? How many landlords?
