-- would you spend more renting than owning?

This isn't. The answer is always no, but the answer is also irrelavant if the answer to the first question is yes.

Wrong - this is quite relevant. I can afford many things but I don't
buy all the things I can afford. The non-economic benefits and costs
come into play as balancing act.

I suppose "if I can afford it AND NOT NOTICE", then the answer may be
irrelevant. But for most people I know who can afford an airplane, they
would notice.
