This is a very misleading statistic. The Imperial grounds are analagous to the several thousand acre central park in manhattan. If you tried to "value" that huge chunk of grass based on real estate prices in times square (where real estate is measured in square feet, not acres), you'd come up with an astronomical figure that probably is more than all of california, too. Both the imperial grounds and central park are huge exceptions to local real estate rules, being free from all development relative to the surrounding region by long standing political edicts. -------------------------- At its height in 1988-89 the Imperial Palace grounds in downtown Tokyo, based on adjoining property valuas, was worth more than all the real estate in the entire state of California*.(Morgan Stanley Research, 1989)
