in order to join that market you have to buy at the inflated prices on the market, since current owners refuse to sell for a loss, there's nothing you can do as an individual to make this cheaper unless you already own the land.

Location still matters, as it does for residential, proximity to employees, or customers is important.

Zoning restricts what land can do what.

There's many reasons why this isn't a "free market"

Someone bought an asset they could afford to hold in bad times. End of story.
