You don't even need that, we just need less zoning that is "single family residence" only. Disallowing higher density housing is what caps housing growth. Combine that with permitting more mixed use. Much of this is borne of NIMBYist zoning rules, which have an often not-so-nice history behind them. And I get that we don't want a chemical plant next door, but I fail to see why a nail salon cannot be side-by-side with an apartment. If single-family-only is OK, we can have higher density permitted but stronger noise ordinances. Why can't we have more sensible regulations that permit higher density and just just forced single-family or light commerical, but never the two mixed?
