New York is nowhere near as bad as San Francisco when it comes to permitting, and it does have more parcels where height is not significantly limited, but it still builds far less housing than it needs to, and overly restrictive zoning is still basically the reason.

Do you have any basis for this claim? NYC really doesn't appear to be all that limited by zoning, and has been bringing an incredible amount of new construction housing to market every year for awhile now.
