Everything you proposed in this article is 'market rate' housing. Just building more of the same, that is unaffordable to the vast majority of working and middle class. Building 'more' is not enough. Building denser is not enough. Upzoning is not enough. It seems like planners have a complete lack of vision.

The answer is to build flexible housing typologies that we currently don't have. How about co-housing typologies? How about single individual housing in ADUs on existing properties? How about live-work lofts? How about business below, and residential above, like we used to have in places like NYC?

What has happened in the last 50 years is we have only built one typology and abandoned all others. As older housing stock has almost entirely been converted to this 'market rate' housing, there simply isn't any flexible housing anymore. The answer is to build more flexible housing, not more of the same old crap.
