Manhattan already builds higher. It just so happens that that new real estate is being sold as multi-million dollar condos instead of affordable housing (for certain definitions of "affordable")
You could make the case that some of the luxury condos (e.g. the skinny buildings by central park) are not dense enough. It only has 60 condos and its 84 stories. Its kind of analogous to the McMansion issue in suburbs. I agree w/ your point broadly though.
