Well, you either tax the land to reduce its value to investors or you don't let people own land in the first place.

No, you can prevent certain types of land ownership. Which is the second one, but it's more nuanced than "don't let people own land."

The real issue I think is that modern wages can't support the cost of new construction. If they could people would simply build more houses themselves.
