I find other reasons way more convincing:
Construction can’t keep up with efficiency gains of the rest of the world. This has less to do with regulation and more with failure to automate as much. Basically baumoll’s cost disease.
Centralization means that everyone wants to live in the same places. We hardly can create new land to build on, especially where we need it the most.
Missing or wrong regulation of cars in cities. They take up an enormous amount of space.
Financialisation of the housing market. Housing can either be affordable or a good investment asset. Not both.
