Real estate has been a great investment all your life, so you think it will continue. But your life experience has been an outlier. Housing prices might stagnate or shrink in the coming decades.
Aside from the ethics, (you could deeply care about your own home as a valid investment vehicle)
I take issue with some of the analysis. I find it silly to include anything pre 1900 period. The world of that time is completely alien to now.
Second, I think the author glosses over the impact the world wars had. If you remove those events the curve behaves quite differently, with a slow but steady incline between the early decades, and midway through the red highlighted zone.
