I suspect this will be fulfilled by improved transportation.

Improved transportation won't get you the choicest pieces of real estate because you still won't be allowed there. It will make the public places even more crowded perhaps.

Some of what expensive real estate buys you is the _lack_ of other people.

If you're out in the boonies, you can have lack of other people for miles. What you won't have is easy access to the nearest city. Transportation solves that.
You also won't have a nice coastline view. Money buys lack of other people in locations where lots of other people want to be.
