"that's why property always beats the schiff out of gold" - not always, just last 30 years. People need a lot of stuff. Doesn't mean it is a good investment. I sold my car for 3k, while people need them. Food another example. And Christmas Trees are also good stuff, in demand, but are free on the curbside now.
If you build 2 houses per family - price will go down like car, -95% easily. Nobody needs more than 1 house. And nobody has money now for a house. Only banks. Enjoy the ride up while banks are generous and stupid.
But I agree with gold and money - nobody needs them really. It is just a chips in a casino game. Nothing better to do. Boring life now, not enough action like in Vikings TV series or Walking Dead, so people use money/gold/property to play games.
