lol I'd encourage you to read the article before commenting. The authors are arguing for more taxation, but via land taxes instead of building.
tl;dr: Investors buy land and leave it undeveloped to avoid taxes while they wait for prices to rise.
tl;dr2: Rich people suck money out of the system, adding no value and making life more expensive for everyone else.
