> the concept that was being described is self-evident. So, I'll just say this isn't a controversial take, from an urban planning standpoint. It's been demonstrated for hundreds of years

National corporate landlords haven't been buying up anything for hundreds of years.

I'll respectfully disagree and go with history here. "corporate" is the modern term for a conglomerate of merchant parties who capitalize on buying up real estate in urban centers. The mechanisms are similar between Roman Senators (google: Roman Senators and Merchants - land ownership), Feudal families, the Dutch/English merchants of the 1800s. Historically all the same pattern of wealth concentration by land aggregation. All modern cities evolve this way. I'm not sure how you've missed it.
