Cynical note - some people may not want a raise in property values because they won't be able to afford living there. (Gentrification.)
Assorted economic rambles:
Someday I would be interested to see a write up on how to maximize the 'value' (perhaps redefined as utility/useability?) of your property in ways that don't get calculated towards the property value. (If I had to do it myself, I'd start by looking up what goes into the calculations...)
Also, money isn't like plants where mass increases as a result of favorable conditions. It's more like water, where you use it to get what you want, but you have to use it carefully, or someone else won't get enough.
I wonder what economics would look like if we measured wealth as transferred assets, or gifts given, or somesuch instead of accumulation/increase of wealth?
