Wouldn't removing demand from the likes of Wall St make the required supply much easier to achieve?

Wall Street would lose interest if the housing market stopped being pumped.

Yep.

"Cities and municipalities suddenly start building enough housing to meet current and even maybe expected-future demand" is often in the "Known Risks" section of the SEC filings of these sorts of businesses.

No. The renters would then push into the house buying market. The demand would be the same.
