I don't think that's the right comparison. You have to compare what a new build would be, not what used to be there.
Without these laws, the new build is a 3 story infill with absolutely maxed out lot coverage. In many cases, the massing of the row houses going up is actually smaller. Worst case, they are the same (but traffic! Parking! Garbage bins! Children!).
