Is insatiable demand equivalent to 'broken' housing? Seems like the latter is a pejorative and the former is the better of two possible problems. Considering people live in apartments and condos, what's the problem with an ADU (or tinyhouse as they called them years ago)? The density/traffic thing is not straightforward. Increased capacity will add traffic, sure. To the extent that capacity remains static and people can live closer to their commute destinations, you have fewer people taking longer trips and more people taking shorter trips (or other transport). Obviously both of these will be the case. As will people moving from high density housing to ADUs in the suburbs. Agreed on the standard of living issue.
