You're assuming everybody wants/needs a single family with a yard.

SFHs should be expensive and considered a luxury. At least in a desirable urban/suburban location.

We could/should/must provide more housing in those desirable areas, but it likely should be a mix of high-rise, mid-rise, small apartment units (which could be owner-occupied or rentals), duplexes and triplexes, and row-homes/townhomes.
