Not enough. That's how you get a voter base which pushes for plans which make properties more expensive, deprioritizes building and depending on other variables, causes population growth while telling the next generations to just deal with the smaller piece of the pie they have to share with a bigger population than before. That mentality effectively means you're dependent on home owners as a whole to care enough about others to prioritize their needs. Historically, this hasn't been true for almost a century in the majority of the developed world.
That's also why this problem is so difficult to tackle. We don't have a critical mass of individuals democratically yet, nor a critical mass willing to cause enough damage to make voters care. And the majority of politicians do not care enough about the long term consequences (or alternatively, realize caring about the long term consequences won't win them votes).
