Ultimately my evaluation of land being the most worthwhile asset is based on the requirement of survival and unless there is a massive cultural shift that destroys our love of gold (something thousands of years of time have failed to accomplish) then I still foresee gold being worth a lot. However in the immediate aftermath of a financial doomsday, land still seems to be the best commodity to not only stay on your feet, but perhaps to thrive. Once the immediate effects of the doomsday are over, a decade, a century (depends on the rate of recovery), gold will once again be worth a lot.
