If supply and demand is a thing why don't we build houses or is it more than supply and demand?

Like houses now are expensive, and I've always heard in economics class a house will usually go up in value and a car will go down in value.

Why don't we build more houses so it's more common? Like really there is so much in terms of rural area that a house could be built, even towns could be built.

Why don't we just build more houses to get the housing prices down.
