I looked at lots a few places around Portland once for curiosity and it was really not worth it. Unless you buy a bigger lot to develop and make a profit of it.
A carpenter friend said if you wanna build your own, it was better to get a house in shambles and doze it, and rebuild. At least you would have the foundation. but that was a few years ago. Now even crack houses are going for 250k+

It's not! And I will try to explain you why. Your response is a classic one, that's why I was curious to hear it first. And I get it. Most people work their daily grind, thinking one day they would be filthy rich and get out of that. Capitalism is brilliant that way, make other people work to death, based on a dream. And if suddenly people can't become a billionaire for some reason, that would be the killing of that dream. And hope is important to get by.
But, being rich and being a Bilionaire is two different things. To help you visualize 1 million seconds is 12 days, 1 billion second is 31 years. It would take me, with a very good salary if you consider the American average, 6 THOUSAND years of hard work without spending a single dime to reach a billion, but only 8 years to reach a million. And although a million doesn't have the same power as it used to I'd gladly retire now, in my mid 40s, if I had a couple of that in my savings.
Nobody makes a billion by chance, and even a lottery billionaire, which is extremely rare, won't be able to hold that money for very long if they are honest folks. Because people are only able to keep their billionaire status by exploiting other people, evading taxes, buying political influence, and benefiting from inside trading information. And that's why they shouldn't exist.
If billionaires didn't exist there would still be rich people and poor people, there'd still be inequality, but it would be just a little harder for a very few group of people to keep control over the world.
