We build housing at a far, far lower rate than we import people, never mind organic population growth. That alone doesn't require any conspiracy theories to explain the reason housing is more expensive and subdivided into smaller units: demand is massively outstripping supply, and it's not a luxury. People just have to pay more for it.
