>Your new land has to be insurable, not in a fire/flood zone, get roads and utilities built out to it, and has to not already have local land-use busybodies zoning it R-1 or inventing brand new weird design requirements.

At the same time, none of these things other than roads/utilities are a requirement in my country and housing is still rising in price much, much faster than anything else + wages.

They aren't requirements or you don't know they're requirements?

(Some countries like the UK don't have this because it's even _worse_. There are no written requirements of what's legal to build, because nothing at all is legal to build without convincing a planner to allow it.)
