It has been declared thus, as for the fact that land is the only form of tangible asset that has no amount of depreciation cut off from it. It has only one graph and that is the upward graph. Price of real estate can only increase as per the time goes by and can never decrease, no matter what. Based on this, various time business tycoons and empire moguls come in the same front to discuss ways, examples can be designed that shows in prominence the lavish and luxury side of life.
