The problem that renting poses is you aren’t in control of your living situation. After the lease expires, you can be told to leave, they could sell the home, the landlord can get the home foreclosed and repossessed by the bank while you’re living there, evicted etc… Buying a home gives you ultimate control and piece of mind.

In Florida, Homesteading your first property restricts property taxes to 3% annual increase. Non-homesteaded properties are restricted to 10% increases. Guess who that 10% gets transferred to each year? The tenant. 5 years renting the same house can mean an increase from $5K/yr property taxes to $8K. $3K extra per year and growing. Purchase that house? Property taxes would be $5800 after the fifth year.
On top of that, we have Homestead Portability where you can move your accumulated homestead from one house to your next with even a buffer of 2-3 years between your last and your next. What does that mean? On top of the $50K exemption off my home value, I also get the difference between the assessed value and the market value from my last home (a number that grew every year except after the housing crash in the late 2000s) from the value of my current home. I believe that was another $100K or so off the assessed value of my current home. Our property taxes are around $1500 with a 3% annual cap. We also bought this house as a fixer upper. Purchased for $230K, 20% down, $80K in updates and repairs (roof, full replumb, floors, gutted kitchen/bathroom, AC, fireplace repair, all appliances). Could easily sell for $400K. If we'd purchased for $450K (cost of similar flipped homes in the area), we would be paying $6K+ in property taxes in perpetuity.
My first home was a 2/2 condo. Bought for $56K when I was qualified for $80K. Sold it 6 years later for double the price. Next house, bought sorta high at $190K. Sold it 15 years later for $290K.
The lesson here is buy small and eventually buy up using the money you make off the old house to bring down the cost of the next house. Don't buy big to start. And always homestead if your state has such a program!

Interest rates on a 30 year mortgage were about 4.5% in June 2018 when the property last sold (and went down to 3% in 2021). If you add another 0.25 to 1% for a jumbo rate mortgage versus a conforming loan you still don't get anywhere near 7%.
Having said that, I completely get the point you're driving and it's 100% valid... The rent versus buy decision is very nuanced and time-based. One should consider all costs and total holding periods instead of blindly accepting one over the other.

The housing market is propped up by home owners influencing policy and local and state initiatives to keep prices high. As a result there is too much upward pressure on housing prices, to expect prices to go down to make it affordable to the masses. Housing prices will therefore continue to rise making the dream of home buying unattainable for those not already in the market.

If the real estate crashes and you have cash, BUY. Otherwise, crunch the #s to see whether it’s worth it.

This is an extreme example. In general the higher the home price the better to rent than to buy. Palo alto is an extreme example in that regard. Also, you also need to factor in equity accumulation; not all the monthly mortgage is gone. Home value appreciation is also another thing to consider. Finally, the 7% interest rate is sort of abnormal; people who bought their homes did so when it was like 3-4% range. It could be better to rent these days but it depends on a lot of factors.

I can still buy a place for less than what I would pay to rent it. I’m not talking about nice, a 1 bed, 1 bath condo is more than 60% of my monthly take home. I have a good job, life is just becoming unaffordable.
I’ve been trying to find a way to not buy but I’m running out of options and where I live there are no rent controls.

I guess the point is that renting CAN be a good financial decision, not that it necessarily is in all circumstances. My mortgage is about half of what I would pay to rent this house and I've made $400,000 on the house since I bought it, which is more than I've made at my job over the same time frame. 1 bedroom condos in my city are renting for more than I pay for my 4 bed 2 bath mortgage. So he's probably right in some cases but I'd be an idiot to follow this advice.

Palo Alto is hardly representative of the housing market in much of the rest of the US.
