Not to get into a protracted argument, but I do not see this as democracy (or capitalism). I see this as socialist top-down elements in a mixed economy. As a comparison, you have councils (or soviets) deciding for people, how they conduct their economic activity - in this case, not allowing them to build apartments on land they own. If you are hoping for a top-down control AND it be enlightened for-the-people AND democratically given this control, then you are looking at the wrong governing model. Especially, if you don't believe that top-down won't benefit at some point tiny interest groups.
