It's not that increasing the supply "hasn't worked"- we straight up don't do it at all. It's been illegal to build anything besides single-family homes in most of the USA since the ~1950s. See SF, LA, Seattle... hugely popular metro areas where most of the city can only legally be a house. Single family homes are inefficient! Compare us to Japan or China where density is legal, the difference is night and day. In addition, it's very exclusionary to tell the less well-off to move away. Why embrace exclusivity when we can build more housing?
