I think if you let developers build whatever dense market-rate housing they find most profitable, that makes housing affordability worse. They think it makes affordability better (or at least they claim to think that). It's a pretty fundamental difference.
@snoble, this is a very common version of the online discourse between YIMBYs and folks who want Affordable-Only policies. I'm gonna tap out, but have a nice night everyone!

But on the slack group that is what is professed -- market rate housing. It cuts out all low income people and people of color. That's the one thing that should be changed -- developers should not profit from housing at all.

I am not going to sign on to abolishing capitalism, because without the profit motive you require centralized planning, and the history of that is worse. But we need to make the incentives significantly different, e.g., zoning waivers only for inherently affordable housing.
