If you make it possible to put an 8 unit building on a single family home site - it will NOT
make housing affordable.
Instead what will happen is that single family homes will become even MORE expensive - astheir prices will include the new premium that the new buyer could turn it into an 8-plex and
make more money.
I'm personally for more city density - and very ANTI-sprawl into the valley - but 8 plex onsingle family won't help affordability per se.
Develop all the areas by the freeway, and the open lot holes inside the city as you are with
more units. Don't do give-aways to developers, or provide them free infrastructure, or pay-forwater rights. All this is unsustainable and won't help anyone but the developers.
