You can build huge amount of buildings if you are a societ style central planner and build a ton of cheap prefabs outside of the city. Further urban sprawl doesn't help being of commuting citizens and city ecology. Or if you are a central planner with the power to evict tenants from parcels. Then it's easy, you just lose credibility as a government. Or under a system with LVT, the land/housing market clears and unused parcels return to the market, solving the problem by itself with just market design techniques. As you can see, LVT is a necessary component for land/housing market to even function without getting stuck in a feudal monopoly.
