Subject: Re: Future wealth

There's one aspect I haven't seen in the recent "Will we all be wealthy?"
debate.  

Real estate.

Even if we terraform planets, build ringworlds, and have the whole
galaxy within easy reach, some neighborhoods will still be more desirable
than others, and will command a premium price.

The people living in most areas will not consider themselves wealthy, and
the proof will be that they are living where they are living and cannot
afford the most desirable.
