Land ownership is not the constraint to housing that you think it is. I can buy thousands of square meters of land that is physically able to support housing for a negligible amount of money. The land is useless to me because construction is expensive (as a result of regulatory requirements) and I'm not legally allowed to build there (also due to regulatory requirements).
