Renters vs. homeowners: who actually knows this city better?

I moved to Logan Square two years ago and a lifelong Chicagoan told me I was 'doing it wrong' by relying on Google Maps for everything. She said real locals learn the bus routes and alley shortcuts, not the main drags. Now I'm torn, because my renter friends explore every neighborhood for happy hours, but my homeowner friends only know their block and their commute. Does having a mortgage here actually make you more invested in the city, or is renting the real way to see it? Curious what this group thinks after being here a few seasons.
