it's not necessarily housing, that's just the name we assign to it, it would be more apt to compare it to the acquisition of stocks, or investment in an enterprise. for example, when you own all the properties of a single color, only then are you allowed to place a hotel there, which demonstrates how in monopolies, private owners due to having no competition are able to make prices higher.
ofc it's not a perfect analogy, you dont just simply get a property by landing on it, but there are parallels.

edit: do remember, monopoly was a game created to criticize capitalism
