False. Why do people invest in real estate and S&P500 passive index funds?

Because historically they go up.

That's of no predictive value for a day, a month, or even years.

BTW, with the birth rates dropping well below replacement, a decline in the population is inevitable, and property values will drop.

That's assuming you don't fill the gap with immigration.
