Quote by Henry Louis Gates
People who own property feel a sense of ownership in their future and their society. They study, save, work, strive and vote. And people trapped in a culture of tenancy do not.
Summary
This quote suggests that individuals who own property hold a stronger sense of belonging and investment in their future and society compared to those who are stuck in a culture of renting or tenancy. Property owners are likely to actively engage in activities such as education, financial planning, employment, and civic participation, including voting. On the other hand, people who are trapped in a cycle of renting may not have the same level of involvement or motivation due to the perceived impermanence of their living situation and a lack of long-term commitment to a specific community.
