I wrote "building" a house, not buying the land. But if you need to know, I could recently have bought a 6000qm plot for about 100k€ about 1.5h by train from Berlin. Also, again, your friends do not "get" anything. They pay way more than that for getting to work. They recover some of the financial burden of commuting, while you don't pay that in the first place and safe the time. Why should society help you in your insane quest to live in an ever denser environment, compete for square cm and minutes of time with literally hundreds of competitors while the countryside just rots away? Your singular perspective about the big city life being the only true path is exactly what makes the city so expensive. If one day you cannot pay the rent anymore this has been partly because of this ideology. Don't complain when you have to move into some crappy apartment in nowhere when you retire and the young guns with 15times your income just pay ridiculous rents for your apartment.
