I think you've left out the side that is incessantly, one-sidedly hammering on the "fact" that government restrictions never serve any constructive purpose, and the solution is always to remove or relax them, but with that addition, I would agree with you.

Explicit limits on density and construction are unambiguously responsible for too-low levels of density and housing construction. That’s not “government can’t do anything right” - that’s “government works.” When you design public policy around single family homes and car-dependence, that’s what you get.
