No one lives forever. You can’t take it with you. In the long run, we’re all renting.

Most of what one calls nepotism, or dynasty is simply people thinking about their grandchildren while making these decisions.

Why wouldn't you want to leave behind wealth for your kids? They are your kids.

That's a good reason to sell an extra home when you need/want cash, not to rent where you live. Even if you don't have children to inherit, it's nice to own a home, but I guess it depends on ones lifestyle.
