I think they reinforce each other, actually - the homeownership norm makes it easier for landlords to get away with exploitative behavior.

The "ownership society" thing absolutely stigmatizes tenants and justifies harming them It's like the whole thing where people say minimum wage jobs are allowed to be shitty because they're "supposed to be for teenagers just starting out"
