Isn't the land underneath the house never owned by the person, always the state? So while they may "own" the structure, it's always in doubt of whether they will be able to lease the land again after the current lease expires.

The US did and does it.
China did it with 1.3 million people to build a dam.
Russia is doing it in Ukraine.
