But the same could be said about money in the bank: it is insurance against not being able to make the next rent payment.

Saving money is the right thing to do---putting all of your savings into immovable property may not be.

A place to live where you can grow food without someone taking it away eliminates the homeless situation.

There is no other investment offering that security. Ask Etrade if you can have a place to live and food to eat if all your trades go wrong :)
