IMO, there's no shortage of unaffordable housing so we ought to encourage 100% affordable construction for a decade or so.

Yeah, it can be done if we change zoning and create incentives to build affordable housing and disincentives to create unaffordable single family homes in suburban sprawl. That hasn't worked so well.
