"YIMBYs think you can just change the laws and get a construction boom" is a common criticism that is somehow never then redirected at the laws put in place with the intention of curbing construction

Oh, you think you can just change the laws to reduce apartment construction in your city? Why aren't you mucking up lumber supply chains or having schools push workers out of the construction industry? That's what'll actually prevent new buildings, not simple zoning code changes.
Anywho it's pretty clear IRL that zoning code changes can influence subsequent labor and supply-chain developments, which is part of why they are necessary and good. apricitas.io/p/new-zealands…
