The article you cited doesn't support that assertion. Its thesis is that upzoning alone — i.e. relaxing regulations such that it is legal to build higher-density housing, without further interventions — may not be sufficient to create enough vacancies to lower rents.
It says exactly what I'm saying. Density increases do NOT result in lower housing prices.
And you need a state-driven corrupt system of subsidies for socialized housing to make it "affordable". For the right kinds of people.
