Huh? In my experience, that's the first thing people think about.
Hell, a significant number of housing-related articles posted here are about suggesting alternative affordability solutions to remind us that there are other approaches we can try when trying to fix zoning has been unsuccessful.
I think it's easy to forget communities like this one, twitter, or even city-related subreddits are still very, very small fractions of the general population. People I talk to outside these bubbles are shocked to learn it's practically illegal to build an apartment in 80% of the land in Vancouver and Toronto, or the further implications on affordability.
