I can think of instances where this would not be true, for instance,where the minimally available space might better serve for sleeping

If someone were so infirmed that they could not grow a garden, that would be
lamentable, but it wouldn't mean that lack of garden is a good thing.
Likewise if one had so small a space at their disposal that it was a choice between
sleeping there or growing vegetables there, that's very bad, very much a pity.
But finding oneself in those circumstances is the bad thing, a garden isn't.
And my view would again be, but what a pity! Debt is thus viewed as a normalI disagree sharply with this notion. Used prudently, debt to buy realproperty or to pay for a good education is very worthwhile.
course of human events, inevitable if you are ever going to have anything.
But this is a lamentable view. For example, I bought this present farmstead
when I was 36, and then built a house on it (along with road, septic, etc) and
it never carried a mortgage. I borrowed no money. Neither did the pieces of
real estate whose sale helped buy it and build it. I bought those without
mortgages too, the first one when I was 25. It can be done if one does not buy
into the paradigm that debt is either good or inevitable.
As far as education goes, the type of 'education' that is for sale is rapidly
fading in worth in the modern world.
