Just wow. You say it won't raise building costs, then you immediately admit that you want the government to eliminate the competition that undercut your prices. It sounds like you're admitting what we all know - that prices will be increased by this move. But you don't care because you stand to gain from it personally.
The government is here to enforce yet another monopoly to "protect" consumers... by forcing them to pay more money. The government will get their cut and are probably getting some kickbacks from the major builders for this as well. Sad.
