You don't fix government/zoning disincentives to do things with government disincentives to not do things.
It's just more time and money wasted on people to inspect and enforce and run appeals systems (what if they had a good reason for not starting?) and write and update rules (what do we count as a good reason?). All of this costs endless tax money that could've been spent on building or buying houses. Or, in 2023, just buying enough food.

Fix the underlying issues, and people will build.
