Bullshit
Let's leave aside the existential and the philosophical. Let's talk dollars and cents. Most places have rents which are commensurate with mortgages if not higher. Last place I lived, my mortgage on a three bedroom house was $591. I could have rented my house for over $1000. And I'm not even approaching the issue of the freedom from having somebody trying to tell you what you can and can't do in your own home. So if you want to enrich the rentier class and impoverish the proletariat, go ahead and rent.
And, as long as we are talking about turns of phraseology...
I am offended at your phrase libertarian nihilism. Libertarianism is a political philosophy. Nihilism is a philosophy of life. Libertarians are not ipso facto nihilists and, in fact, I suspect very few of them are. Conflating the two is a disservice.
