Right. You can solve affordable housing even in the suburbs by building complexes near public transport.
A big complex in the middle of nowhere with 20 mins of road to get to transport is a failure in premise before it’s even built.
As other commenters have mentioned, other good places to build: existing abandoned lots/malls. Malls were targeted to areas with decent transportation access anyway, and they’ll never come back… soooo start going up!

High density housing near public transit can also help local retail. Even if those residents own a car, they are so slightly inconvenienced by taking it out of a parking garage that they might step outside and use nearby retail like a drug store, deli, or superette to take care of one-off errands.

Hell yeah! Tired of suburbs where the train station is not even factored into their local hot spots
