Exactly -- Tokyo has kept housing costs under control for this reason.
There are zoning codes in Tokyo, but they're quite flexible compared to what people in the US are used to. In addition, perhaps most importantly, it's not possible to oppose construction, as opposed to the the US, where literally anyone can halt a construction project indefinitely for literally any bogus reason.

I legit thought it was just a way to mock NIMBYs who say that stuff. It was on that day I kind of just stopped hoping for a better future in terms of housing.
