It is expensive to live in hotels, even cheap ones - more expensive than renting.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It's cheaper to buy a house and finance it than it is to rent in many markets.
The great advantage of a hotel is that it is a refuge from home life.
Truthfully, I despise hotels. I've had such better experiences staying at people's houses and guesthouses; it's so much more comfortable and homey.
I know people who have been without a home for ages, and lots of my friends are sofa surfing because they are in between jobs or saving for degrees and other studies - paying £500 rent every month is just not feasible for them.
No matter how nice a hotel is, it's not home.
There's more single-family homes rented in the United States then there are apartments.
In principle if I could not have a home I wouldn't. But not having a home would be too difficult procedurally, going from hotel to hotel, the gap of three hours where you're hungry and tired.
If you don't have trouble paying the rent, you have trouble doing something else; one needs just a certain amount of trouble.
I rarely stay in hotels because I have friends all over the world.
If you go to the U.S., you've got a huge market, cheap energy, good skills, and pensions are a sensible cost.
