Cost for one and not all areas are habitable, i.e. there's no way to get water/electricity/phone. IIRC, they also have some laws regarding land ownership. Also high rises aren't allowed in some places. Where my parent's condo is, no building can be higher than the tallest tree.

We took the active volcano helicopter ride and they showed where squatter had taken up. they have pools next to their house to collect the rain water and just whatever else they can get at stores - there are no public utilties. And they had multimillion dollar views
