While I can see what you're saying on an economic level, I can think of very few things more important than space on an objective level. On a personal level, I can think of nothing more important than space.

"Important", unqualified by a specific concrete, objectively measurable goal that thing are judged by importance to, is inherently subjective.

How does your here-unjustified opinion help move the discussion?

I don't mean to be rude, but so what that you think this or that is more important? The discussion should be based on the merits of each investment, not eric_cc's list of most important things on an objective level.

Get off your high horse.
