> So being a current homeowner, do I have a financial interest in preventing new houses from being built?
Only if you're using your home as a financial instrument rather than a place to live. But that has the same problems as eg, farmers and/or grocers having a financial interest in engineering a famine in order to drive up food prices.

Probably, yes, plus various other factors in varying amounts.
