Thanks for diving into this further! When looking at the graphs, here and the papers, it does seem like something changed. When thinking in cycles, I do not think anyone would have expected the rise would have continued that long. Naturally the disruption can be caused by many other things, like pandemic after shocks, so it's indeed poor evidence for the effect of the policy, but not implausible and I do not buy it as evidence it is a 'myth'. I buy your point it likely mostly changed location of the builds, but that is still half a win, as it likely means people live closer to where they want to live.
