> "Helps in some way" is alright except that "helps in some way" has been sold for the last 6 years, politically, as, "this is the reason you can't buy a home! Surely it has nothing to do with NIMBYism and our suburbs! Please don't ask me, as your elected representative, to take on suburban voters and start talking about housing equity as it relates to affordability!"
That isn't what the commenter you originally replied to was stating, nor was it my position. While your argument may have merit, it's a non-sequitur when used as a rebuttal to either that commenter or myself.
> Just quit the bullsh*t about this being about addressing housing affordability.
I get it, you have a point you want to make. There are more constructive ways to do so than to misconstrue the arguments of the people you are replying to.
