I mean, land is important.
The thing is you need a "secured" work postion or have the ability to be mobile with work after a few years if you're not in public service or government work of some kind. If you live in an area where there's no eccomic opportunity.

It's a catch 22. Live close to the city and risk death now or move so far away from the city driving a total hours a day just to get back home.

It's rough out there.
If you loose your job with no massive savings fund or if you didn't pay a massive percentage of your mortgage you are screwed.
