He is saying, all else being equal, having a lake is better than not having a lake. This is regardless of if you choose to use the lake or not.

And thus, a lake has no more bearing on a community's rank than it would to have a bar 2 feet from your house. One may want the former and one may want the latter, and therefore a lake being "better" is a subjective opinion, not an objective fact.
