No, tax won't help. The reason is because the population grew and the amount of land available stayed the same. (Google London population growth charts).

How much of the increased housing costs is due to growth and how much due to lack of real-estate taxes?

Real estate prices are going up everywhere - including places with negative demographic trends.

Again, Google the population growth charts for London. It's been increasing since the 90's. Yet, there's still the same amount of space. Taxes will probably have unintended consequences, ripple down the whole economy. Another post-Brexit blow.
