The real difference (surprisingly not mentioned yet) is land for housing in cities is incredibly finite. Food, energy and consumer staples can be produced endlessly

The key here being housing in cities and I would also add in nice neighborhoods, in cities. You can still expand the city, and build more cities. For practical matters, land is not finite. Food and consumer staples are similarly finite if you only look at the nicest and most attractive versions of it. There is a constant "shortage" of michelin star food and ferraris
