That's the kind of fine print that would kill any popular support for LVT.

It's also a false dichotomy. We don't need LVT to solve housing. We don't even know if LVT would solve housing. On the other hand, we know exactly how to solve housing. People just don't want to.

We'll just have to wait and see then. Detroit is going to try it out and we'll see how it works for them.

It's a collective action problem. One of the ways we usually solve those is through government action. LVT is a candidate for exactly that!
