No, my position is more nuanced than that. I'm okay with wealthier areas subsidizing poorer ones. It's just the geographic / low density bias that's the problem. The problem is when then owner of a $450,000 condo is subsidizing the owner of a $450,000 house. It gets worse when you can buy a $450,000 condo and end up subsidizing a $500,000 house.
