Renting costs are not scalable or sustainable. The people who rent everything they can afford and own nothing will have to be in perfect health all the time, have no debts to pay, and basically work until death. Logan didn't run for no reason.

It’s been years since I’ve watched Logan’s Run, but wasn’t it the girl he fancied who went on the run and he just got caught up. Rather then him explicitly choosing to run?
I was pretty sure he had his own doubts and feelings and a sense of realization after watching the movie.
You might be right. Because didn’t he consult the computer before he was outcast?
I think he wanted to live beyond 30.
or live in a society with a decent pension system.
I actually thought about that. Then I went "naah" no society willingly pools taxes so that I can pay Netflix until I'm 90.
societies willingly pool taxes so that the elderly when retired can maintain a decent standard of living.

often the decision is to move somewhere warm and sunny or to travel but it can be to have all the streaming services and a nice little cottage in the country.

evidently someone downvoted me for the suggestion that such societies exist - gee, I wonder what their problem is.
