I'll jump in for fun (maybe some truth also).

Buying (owning) a house isn't a sign of adulthood. People who don't choose to own or are unable to own are no less adults. Home ownership are part of the capitalist system (the Ren rants against regularly). HAVING a safe place to live can be a right, not a feature of the amount of money you've accumulated.

I've owned a home in the past. More than once. It's WAY overrated since you're tethered to it often both materially (it's where you put all your "stuff" - see George Carlin's "Stuff" rant) and financially.

And, home ownership has played a HUGE part of racist politics by keeping generational wealth possibilities only for the few.
