Minimum housing size regulations (which is really what the source is about) has similar impact to minimum wages. It gives lower middle class people bigger homes / higher wages but increases homelessness / unemployment.
Maybe I'll try and find the talk again. But saw one where the speaker showed slides of various housing units. They varied from a very nice looking art deco style apartment in Redwood City at something like 220 units per acre. And single family homes in Los Vegas built and zoned for 4 units per acre.
