We both want affordable housing. I just want it to be legal to build it closer to jobs. Driving is dangerous, as are its byproducts. More driving kills more people.

If the choice is between cheaper housing with a longer commute, or expensive housing with shorter commute, it's completely unclear that the latter is more beneficial to humanity than the former, even if we only consider the number of deaths caused by each scenario. At the very least you haven't presented any evidence that this is so.
