One is in regards to the lasting effects of Houston's 1998 zoning reforms[0]
Another looks more broadly at patterns of regulations and how they affect the market[1]
Bloomberg also did some nice reporting in this space[2] as well which goes over many cases of attempted land use / zoning reform and various outcomes, most notably that trying to only single out 1-2 regulations is at best token reforms and more meaningful comprehensive reforms are needed to zoning and land use laws.
This is simply what I have easy access to at the moment, but there is more out there that studies housing as an ecosystem and they all seem to be converging on similar conclusions: the real estate market (housing in particular) is functionally broken around the country
