Your link does not seem to support your thesis here, unless I'm missing something?

"Cheap" isn't a great word to use there, because it means something more negative than the reality I'd want. I want affordable housing for people. Good, quality housing, with sufficient space, but something that people of all income levels can afford. It's possible, but the political decisions that could allow it are hampered by the NIMBYs.

You can own a condo. Or a townhome, or a duplex, or any number of dense housing forms.

I somewhat agree, it’s a delight for the wealthy or middle class. But the lower class often have a much more negative view (having come from said lower class). The reality, is the upper and middle class dominate in politics and try to do things that are the opposite of “good”. Take for example, “cheap housing for everyone”. Nah.. they want the opportunity to own a nice house, not a hand out. Frankly, you’d be right, if I had any faith the upper class wouldn’t have a god complex to try and “make things better”.
