We don't have enough housing or mass transit for the first option, and building more batteries has proven significantly easier than building either more housing or more transit.

This is where we'll have to disagree - the limitations to building housing and mass transit are mostly economical, while for batteries they are mostly physical.

Would definitely disagree on that. The limitations of building housing and mass transit are mostly political, while for batteries they're both economical and physical. I'd take physical problems over political ones any day.
