People living from house prices and Nature?

There is a pattern in home prices over time (See Zillow Data).  This does not represent a true market-based system with natural ups and downs. The market bears any price, and people are willing to pay that price. They took all the naturally beautiful areas from those who just wanted to live a beautiful life and gave them to the extreme capitalists for second homes, etc.  I also had my house taken, and now the price is twice what they paid.  As home prices keep increasing, I fear that people are relying too much on their homes to make income, which causes homes to be out of reach for people closer to nature.  Those less close to nature bought nature up because they could; the same is true for desirable metropolitan areas.  How many people are living from real estate transactions?  What is the average time spent in a home?  Does some mob control the housing market? Do redder areas create homelessness? Extreme inflation opportunism? Irrational exuberance?  Too much flipping?  Too much greed? Is it out of necessity?  Did they take Nature from me and my school?  Do invasions occur in certain regions? Did they take geography from me and the conferences I attended?  What is your hypothesis?  I believe you can do anything you want if you have enough money.
