NYC is nowhere near the population density of many other global cities, even nice ones like Seoul [0] (sorry for the mediocre link). Anecdotally, as an NYC resident I am astounded by the number of empty lots in Manhattan and buildings with three or fewer stories. I don’t think the issue is land capacity.
