This is a complex issue. if you add apartments for the same number of citizens prizes should go down, but that's hardly the nature of the system we are working with here.

If you have a busy highway and add more lanes will traffic jams go down?

Yes, but perhaps in neighboring/older roads instead of the fancy new lanes on the highway.
