The value is only increased if you can sell it at that price and purchase for a lower price. I've been of mind set that the only reason housing valuation has increased is so local government can levy higher taxes on you
To me, stories like this and so many similar ones are more signs of Their desperation. That is, They are flailing about for anything which will help them regain control of the social psyche.
In contrast, when They really did have such control, we got a single ridiculous narrative on continuous repeat. It was the classic "Big Lie" technique. Twenty-two years ago with 9/11, we got "19 A-rabs with boxcutters" a million times over.
Now, such as here with the increasingly obviously dire economic situation, browse through Establishment media and you'll get:

If you have a shitty song and you're desperate for sales, what do you do? Keep making covers: country, rap, heavy metal, EDM, pop, Christian, soul, anything. Maybe some group somewhere is stupid enough to buy it and you can work from there.
