Government can disincentivise this or just expropriate banked land.

Last I read though, land banking isn’t as big of a problem as it’s made out to be, and is mostly just builders having a pipeline of projects, and buying the land for projects when it’s cheapest rather than the day before the spades are ready.

A land value tax should sort it out though.
