    Land is expensive where many people live. There is enough land available in Alaska for estates

    Not everybody can live in an estate and expect low travel time into the city center.

    If you want to create new housing in a city, you have to share land. In other words, you have to build high-risers.

      They want a million dollars (AUD) for 1000m2 of farmland where I am, 1 hour commute to the nearest city

      It’s on a flood plane

      It’s advertised to people to use as “land banking” on the off chance that it might get rezoned in the next 20 years.
