This is great and all, but I suspect many readers will have the same response as I: that as a 10-year-old I'd figured out the best-value spaces just by the jail and Go To Jail placements alone, along with the higher rents and bonus chance cards for some properties over others for the same building cost. It's great for someone to run the figures, but if you didn't know what the answers were largely going to be you're a terrible gameplayer and analyst of your environment!
