There is now a US dollar "dead zone". If you live someplace where the land if basically free, I see no reason to expect it will have any more value tomorrow than it has today. If you live in a place where the land is insanely expensive, then you risk watching prices erode over time. What is dead is the idea that US housing is place to invest as a hedge against inflation. Inflation today is global, and your house will not protect you from that. If you want a hedge, invest in something that is traded on global markets and for which there is global demand outside the US dollar dead zone.
