Land may be "effectively infinite", but desirable land isn't.

Land in the middle of a desert in Arizona may be ridiculously cheap, but few people ever choose to live there (or can actually pull that off). OTOH land on Manhattan, or on the Miami beachfront, is for some reason quite limited.

"desirable" isn't fixed. Once pheonix was "a desert in Arizona". (I'm not arguing that all land is equal).
