The difference in material cost is almost negligible in the overall picture for an 800k home. In the end its all about developers putting more money in THEIR pockets.
Hmm, I'm no math doctor, but in that case I'd ballpark it at about $20k.

But, and this is a big "but" this has nothing to do with an 800k infill in sunnyside. This is a new development for multi unit buildings up to 6 storeys. You've always been able to build that infill out of wood, this doesn't change that at all.

When you start looking at material costs for the kinds of buildings this as actually relevent to. I'm pretty sure the material costs are pretty significant.
