    The one thing they're not making any more of in this world is land.

Huge portions of the US remain undeveloped or under-developed. Land isn't really in as short of supply as some would have you believe.

    $3.2M isn't much money for a very large number of people in this world.

$3.2 is just the purchase price. The article says the buyer would be looking at another $25-million to demolish the structures that can't be salvaged. Then you have upkeep and taxes. I'm sure the actual total monetary commitment is still within reach for many, but it's not nearly as low as $3.2.
