Unfortunately, some people think their way is the only way and won't open their minds to people wanting different ways to live (own, rent, etc).

There's nothing wrong with renting but some people demonize it for no reason.

Because renting adds an extra overhead to the equation in the form of the landlords cut, you'd be cheaper of owning the property and sharing the repair costs (assuming you live in an apartment complex)
