How about step 0: Get rid of rent control, instead of offering to freeze prices, along with lowering cost for selling real estate. It’s not just a matter of building more, but making sure everything is used efficiently.
I am also missing the Land Value Tax step, making many low density parts of NYC get big incentives for building up. I am sure he just forgot to write it down
