There is no intrinsic value in a house or land or anything else.


Actually there is .... things that enhance daily life have value.
A roof keeps rain off your head, a garden puts food in your belly.

The very concept of value is based on the desire to satisfy these basic wants.
Some things have value ...

You confuse value with satisfaction of basic needs. It is not really relevant whether something one values satisfies basic or higher-level needs.

The point was that it is not things but people who have values for things. Things in themselves do not have value.
