There are some interesting charts in these two tweets.
First, one person points out that Europe has a much higher total dwelling stock per person than Anglophone countries:
Then another person responds by showing a map of Common Law vs Civil Law countries, suggesting that Common Law makes it hard to build housing:
I thought this was interesting, but then I looked up a map of home price per average income by country:
While the Anglophone countries may have a lower total dwelling stock per person, they also seem to have more affordable housing than the European Civil Law countries.
Seems like some major divergence started in the 80s though, but the legal systems didn't change during that time, did they?
I've actually heard of this relationship before, and I was hypothesizing that it may have to do with how urban planning is taught in schools. It's a wild guess, but it would make sense because educational systems are usually closer between countries that speak the same language.

Urban planning is central planning which is statism which promotes collectivism and slips into communism and socialism
