Here, less could be more. Besides, there's an option of bringing Thai workers on temporary visas. Besides, as Obadiah shows, higher construction wages would have negligible effect on real estate prices. Few countries (and few cities in the US) have zoning prediction rules. In most places, building owners have no guarantee against someone erecting a higher building in front of them. That sort of unpredictable construction takes place in Israel now despite the socialist regulation. Jewish construction workers are more efficient than Arabs and use less manual labor.

I note you raise on issue yourself in regard to how "but since rare customers have resources to sue negligent contractors". Also what you do with your land does affect your neighbor - most home owners value a certain level of predictability regarding their neighbors. Of course how one weights such competing objectives is debatable. Also note that if you have less construction workers and those construction workers are more expensive then you should in a free market get less construction. The biggest benefit from not having immigrant Arab workers would be that there would be less flash-points between people like Benjamin and the Arabs that apparently keep stealing his construction equipment. That’s the sort of straws that one makes hay mountains out of. 1) Badly built homes are the sort of market failure that just keeps on hurting.

All the houses there are built with stolen materials/time/money. They end up more expensive than Jewish workers.
