nop, corpos acquire a lot of houses in the market and rent them. They can pay more for the houses since their scope of investment (years to break even) is longer than your average mens' lifespan. rent goes up. a smaller and smaller percentage of population can buy houses because there are fewer on the market. rent keeps everyone poor. This is happening now, in every major developed country

But there's nothing preventing from building more and more houses if not zoning. Zoning is the problem enabling this.
