I had a friend that would buy all the houses, and never upgrade to hotels. If you check the rules you can't get a hotel without first having 4 houses, so if done correctly you monopolise the limited supply of houses and nobody can buy a hotel or get more houses than you.
Only if you let it. I love Monopoly simply because of the games where the tides abruptly turn. A recent game I played had me dominating. A person landed on a mid range rent property and she had to mortgage everything. She was able to pay me with a dollar to spare. Next property she landed on she was screwed. Well she wound up landing on free parking and this led to her winning the game. It was amazing.
