If you're weighting affordability as supreme over all other variables, the answer isn't going to be "blanket R-CG". It's going to be "blanket high-rise buildings with zero aesthetic value" akin to Soviet bloc housing projects.

I think 'availability' might be a more appropriate word than affordability...they are obviously tied at the hip, but even if we have to accept that housing costs are unlikely to decrease in a significant way, reducing the need to compete with hundreds of other suitors for a rental or purchase would go a long way to improving individual housing situations (and of course lead to slowed growth on pricing, which is apparently a confusing concept)
