NYC real estate is far from unregulated. In fact, it faces arguably even stronger NIMBY pressures than San Francisco and indeed SF has authorized more building permits per capita than NYC for many years in the last decade. Its rental market also had many new controls added this past summer.

Yup, this is correct. NYC is very far from anything resembling a "deregulated" market.
