In some countries, owning a house rather than renting one is very important for people. Topic: house and accomodation + property Why might this be the case? Do you think this is a positive or negative situation?
The members of certain areas claim that being a houseowner can bring more benefits than being a tenant. The following essay will first suggest that the biggest reasons for this assumption are the stability and the potential for long-term investments, and I think this is a negative trend since it exacerbates the financial strain and owners are unable to withdraw the expenses if they intend to vacate.

While many argue, that this problem can be easily solved by creating a new law that would prohibit anyone under 24 to be able to drive a motorcycle, I personally believe that with the right precautions, there would be no need to go into such lenghts.
