Things might be slightly better then, but if there's still X number of housing units, you're still only going to have Y number of people living there.

Giving people a more even chance at winning musical chairs is nice, but how about just making more chairs?

This is partially at least an emotional problem which you cannot only tackle with logic. The other problem that you’ll currently see is that even if you can convince people that tearing down their house and building a new one in the same spot, they’ll often still want to be able to afford one of the new flats - and that’s currently not a given. So people understandably prefer to stick what they have.

So a fundamental ability to compete is IMHO a basic requirement for building more chairs.
