I’m not sure whether this is different in Egypt, but one never really 100% owns one’s property in the U.S. Everywhere here there is annual property tax, and if you don’t pay it, you lose the property. I suppose many people think of it differently than they do about rent, but the mechanism and the consequences are exactly the same, so there’s no reason to consider it differently conceptually.
