"Sorrow (Apartment) with a sense of ownership as much as owning one's own home"

"Why would I be unqualified? The country granted me this right to live here for 30 years, as if it were my own home," he said. "I pay to live here, though not as much as you do. I have lived with a greater sense of ownership than if I owned my own home. Is there anyone who has lived with more interest in an apartment than I have?"
I think it made me feel even more touched because it feels somewhat similar to reality.
