> I’m beginning to suspect that centralization consolidation of corporate structures are more of a causative factor for why land in cities is very expensive.

The reason is that there are far more people coming in than there is room to keep up with demand, so dwellings are chopped up into smaller dwellings and rented out, and house prices rocket. Cities are only so big, and putting endless additional people in them can be great if you own property, but terrible if you don't.
