You keep a large parcel of land in the family over long periods you can make money off of it or sell it at a huge profit. I looked at the tiny town house I grew up in, even that. My parents bought it for a mere 30k back in the 60s. My mom sold it for 90k in the 90s. Looked it up on google a few months ago and it sold in 2015 for over 350,000. 

The song is about a middle class teen finding escape through a hobby. Really no different than how ABBA songs appeal to teens wanting to escape by dancing or dreaming of dating.

. . . if their dancing and dreams of dating take place in a repressive police state set in the future. But yeah, otherwise really no different.

-- What on earth are you doing, Kristina?!?

-- I'm sticking it to the man!

-- Really? Can I stick it to the man, too?

-- You bet! All you have to do is sway to the music. Yeah, that's it! You can dance; you can jive!

UGGGG, both are about escapism. You are getting stuck on the lyrics. Red Barchetta is about a teen who wants to get away from the world by breaking the law by speeding. I was a teen once, I did stupid shit myself. Dancing queen appeals to a teen who wants to get away from it all by dancing. 

I also like Metallica's "seek and destroy" song. I think between all the stupid shit I did as a teen that almost got me arrested, or dancing, dancing was the least likely thing to get me in trouble. BUT both are about appealing to how teens release stress. Neither Red Barchetta or Dancing Queen address anything deep, like poverty or war or oppression. 

RUSH's Red Barchetta isn't the same as say writing a song about fighting social injustice. It is just about a teen who likes driving fast. Having gotten speeding tickets as a teen, I learned real quick that shit is not worth it. I still like the song, but no, that song is not deep one bit.
