Monopoly?

With the holiday over, the comment was made after playing the annual family game of monopoly, why is it that no one ever lands on Park Place and Boardwalk? This website calculated the probabilities of landing on each square and this website does a cost analysis of what sites are the best to own. The probabilities in the spreadsheet below were taken from this site and was simply sorted on rank (it is actually the purple properties that are never landed on). Boardwalk and Park Place are middle of the pack but my guess is that you end up in jail before you make it around the board(?).



It would appear the best properties to own are the light blue, orange, and all the railroads...
