Because that kind of clear communist thinking never does that well when it comes up against the realities of how people want to live. People generally congregate with those of similar beliefs, tastes and incomes. Kind of sad, but true all the same.
How would the land value tax work as a way of really affecting buy to renters though without hurting normal house owners? As for large scale building, that's great but unless you stop the BTR crowd buying them up, it's just going to exacerbate the situation.
As for scrapping private property, yeah I think you might struggle with that one.
That said however, when it comes to housing there's going to be a ceiling somewhere. Eventually you run out of space to build and the bulk of the money collects in the hands of those who got in early. Maybe it's centuries away but somewhere there's going to come a really unhappy wall we run into.
