Houston in Dallas who can simply expand externally into new land are hardly a proxy for a land real estate constrained city like New York that has to build vertically

Surely it's not so simple when New York City is building more housing supply that essentially any other American city

can clearly see from there that NYC is #1 in terms of raw numbers of new housing units

Are the original goalposts, housing supply alone is an important factor in the price of housing though fwiw.
