neighbors are planning to be temporary."

 "OR, they are realistic, know life changes, and they recognize that  
they might want to send their kids to college one day.

In this country, with tax laws the way they are and have been for  
many decades, home ownership is THE significant way to invest in  
one's future, and in ones retirement.  Wanting that investment to be  
safe, and secure and meaningful, is a natural thing.

If you don't like private ownership of land, consider the  
alternative, where the "king" or the "General" who is currently in  
power owns everything, and private ownership is beyond  
comprehension.  Much of the world lives this way today.  In all case  
the "people live in poverty" when they can't own their own land.
