Rad quote. BUT! Why is land going to be valuable? Robots will not use much land. People will lose salary over time as their skills are automated - which will lead to lower land prices.

People need to live somewhere.
The reason that cities exist is because people like to be around (certain) other people.
Since teleportation isn't a thing, people need to live within a certain distance of each other in order to have an in person relationship.
This isn't just about work, even in a "post scarcity" society, people will still want to interact with other people, face to face.
Therefore land will always be valuable.
