The pattern is striking when you look at the numbers. Local governments that trim taxes while banking on land value appreciation substantially outpace their counterparts—that's the reality on the ground. Same goes for households: buy a bigger place than your wallet strictly allows, and wealth accumulation accelerates faster than playing it safe. Meanwhile, developers who aggressively acquire land parcels without hitting the brakes expand quicker than cautious competitors. What does this tell us? The incentive structures embedded in real estate markets are pushing all three players toward expansion and leverage. It's a system that rewards those willing to stretch.
