Real estate is not an asset class impervious to the singularity

Real estate is not an asset class impervious to the singularity | I'm unconvinced that real estate somehow is a scarce resource. I think reverse urbanization due to FSD plus Starlink in the style of Isaac Azimov's spacers from the Foundation series or otherwise. I think this is just one of many reasons why real estate is not necessarily some sort of impervious asset class to the singularity.
