The idea that buying property "comes with workers" feels super gross to me

It is kind of weird, but they get to keep their job and a lot of times their housing. I wonder if they get a chance to negotiate a pay raise after a sale, not really sure how these things work.

Money is a magical invention. Everyone agrees they don't have enough of it but somehow everyone also agrees only certain people should have more than enough.

They can get surprisingly cheap in some areas, mainly if it’s mostly land and not many buildings (and perhaps no workers).

I’ve seen 1600 acres and a nice big house for 1.6 million.
