Thought experiment: you only allow ownership with no capital controls stopping remote ownership. And no AirBnB. Cities would necessarily die

i'm not so sure; most US cities have homeownership rate of 60%-70% . presumably some renters are choice so can afford to own

Not necessarily. Cities do die. The biggest, oldest ones may just have been lucky so far.
