Well i know people that try hard to make ends meet and can't earn more even with 2 paychecks , you sound young ...and didn't start life yet , not everyone is lucky to make easy alot of money

But let's not loose ourselves to get a house for $10,000 and mortgage payments is cheaper than your rent is a no brainer, besides this will be worth much more in the future and can sell for a profit

Not sure I agree with all of your math and your assumptions but I agree that this is probably more financially sound than saving up money to purchase a larger home with a larger monthly payment

I have yet to extend my own but I believe the way to do it is to ask for a booking after the expiration date. It's possible if you cancel the new stay, your certificate is extended. Not sure of full details.

They just told me that I can have a couple months of leeway because I didn’t realize how to book the free night as it doesn’t show up in my account

I would assume - from a marketing perspective - that they would rather weed out any lukewarm fans and only have the people who are willing to wait for hours on the chance they'll get inside. That makes for much better optics. 7,000 die-hard supporters in the stadium, screaming away, and thousands more outside. That makes for much better TV than a partially full, quiet Metlife, even if it fits 100,000.

That's what I think their reasoning is. Hit like if you agree.

You’re a genius

Well, standard duplexes are usually built on R-12 I believe, which means one house per 12,000 square feet. An acre is about 43,000 square feet, so an acre would usually hold about 3.5 houses (a house here means one half of a duplex). 10 acres would be about the amount of space you would otherwise be able to use for 35 duplex houses (17.5 duplexes). That amount of land in residential zoning (which is where you probably will need the shul if you want to be able to walk there on Shabbos) will cost a fortune - hence the lawsuit threatened claiming that this is in violation of RLUIPA, and that the land-use laws unfairly make it harder for use of the land for religious reasons.

Ironically, by doing so, they’re forcing developers to develop large expanses of land so as to make building a Shul near a community affordable.
