Yes. It might require a drastically reduced human population to support based on the resource limitations of this planet though.
But those things won't be seen as valuable or special when everybody has them, so the desire and drive of the human heart will move on to pursue some other scarce thing.
Perhaps people will decide that owning an apartment in Manhattan and a homestead in the country are too pedestrian and true luxury is spending your life as a homeless wanderer, because that's hard for normal people to pull off and if you can, it becomes a status symbol.
There is no satisfying the insatiable desire of the human soul.
“Desire is the root of suffering.” - the Buddha
The answer is NO, mainly and ultimately because value is subjective.
Not everyone is going to value either those assets or the work required to afford those assets equally.
Some dude may prefer a cabin in the woods, whereas another dude may prefer “enlightenment” and never be in the position to make enough money to afford a Mercedes.
