There's mental value in downsizing stuff. I do it all the time.
One thing you mention is rent change. That's my favorite part about having a house, it's cost certainty. Taxes and insurance change sure, but when all the houses around me double in value (and they almost have), I still pay what I bought it for. No one is going to come around and say "oh uh yeah this area is more expensive now, you have to pay more"
The government will when they hike your property taxes
They do, but you’re going to pay that in rent too, along with increased value. Albeit in Texas I’m actually expecting a decrease this year.
Exactly -- I can't imagine living in a situation where my "landlords" could not only raise my rent, but could raise the cost of "my" car, the cost of "my" office space, or the cost of god knows what else. (Oh hey, renting shovels just got more expensive. I guess I'll have to delay that planting I was planning on doing.)
