My guess is that voters who actually care about city level politics or influential people in the city are already home owners. For home owners, building more housing means a decrease in their home value so they have no incentive to push more housing.

This is why regional or even national planning could work better; the larger region has less incentive to do this.

Seems to work well in other countries
