As highlighted elsewhere in the comments, Vienna very much did. Once they stopped building it eventually became an issue again though.

No, they did not. They went down the "decrease population" route: https://www.macrotrends.net/global-metrics/cities/20107/vien...

Once the population growth returned, the prices went up as well. And no amount of new construction helped: https://www.globalpropertyguide.com/europe/austria/home-pric...

Again, perfectly fits my prediction and contradicts your model.
