We actually haven't been building nearly enough housing in many of these places though...

When you're at the point where it's not about zoning for new housing but upzoning to turn existing housing into higher density housing then you absolutely have gone that far. IMO, of course.

To clarify a bit, because it seems we might be talking around each other, I would argue that the reason they haven't been building new houses recently is because there just isn't enough space to do so in the areas with the highest demand. You look at a lack of building as evidence that more building needs to happen. I look at a lack of building as evidence they simply can't build anymore. Outside of converting existing housing into higher density housing though. But I see that as the last ditch effort, not the preferable solution over building out into new communities.
