I got yelled at for posting blogger sentiment
Who yelled at you, and what did they say? I remember some questioning the validity of that measurement, which is what made wtjb's post funny. :D
Back on topic, it's an interesting question.
I'm personally big into real estate as a path for FIRE, so unless you can somehow convert them from jumping stilts to
house stilts, I'd vote no.

Disclosure: long houses, but not stilt houses, or longhouses, for that matter.
