If you allow increased density, and you use it to provide actually valuable homes (rather than studio/one/two bed apartments or the like mostly intended as a store of wealth), then land value can go up while unit value goes down.
This means people joining the market can buy for a couple of years salary, while people already in the market can exit and downsize for a decade's salary.
