  Actually the point is correct, and your explanation indicates a lack of understanding the difference between wishful thinking and market realities.
  
  First, a substantial number of single-family homes _would_ have been rezoned to allow conventional apartments and similar condos.
  
  Second. the market doesn't support redevelopment with family-friendly, workforce housing in close-in residential areas. The market drives higher-cost housing, regardless of form, including single-family redevelopment, so-called "missing middle" and apartments and condos. (Note that "condos" can include forms other than "apartment-like.")
  
  Third. R-1 already allows ADUs on R-1 lots, as well as duplexes (some of which already exist) in the current single-family area.
  
  This kind of well-intentioned, but woefully disconnected from reality, representation of the actual code provisions and effects of SW-SAZ has been a real problem.
