Not if constraining supply inflates asset values more than increasing it does.

And in the case of land, this appears to be the case.

Even if that's only an illusory belief, it's still a determinative one in constraining supply.

Though that may be starting to change:

"After Years of Failure, California Lawmakers Pave the Way for More Housing"

To ease an affordability crisis, the Legislature voted to open suburbs to development, allowing two-units on lots long reserved for single-family homes.

I'm still skeptical the roadblock's been cleared. But the noise about fixing the problem's getting louder, at least.

This just shows that all the finger pointing of developed countries about corruption in developing nations is misguided. The only difference between them and us is that our development phase happened sooner than theirs. Our developed nation governments are often just as corrupt but the negative impact of their corruption is waning as individuals get wealthier. Those with newly found wealth then commit their own small time corruption (land is a pretty good example).
