> Prices are set by the government via zoning laws

Zoning laws are not price fixing. Practically every dwelling in a zone has a different price on it, because of supply&demand.

Zoning laws have a restrictive effect on supply, which in turn has an effect on prices.

That's quite different from setting the prices.
