Why Land May Not Be the Smartest Place to Put Your Nest Egg

It’s true, as the adage goes, that they’re not making land anymore, but technology that allows more intensive use of land has held down values in the long term.

The question is not germane.
The object is to move housing costs out of the short term in so far as possible.
Governments seek rent in the form of property taxes.
Taxes are unavoidable.  Communication costs are unavoidable.
I want to pay a minimum of rent.
Land is illiquid and does not pay dividends.
