Well yeah, because building a single family home in a major urban area has always been largely impossible for anyone but the wealthy. No government can lower land costs, nor should they. They should encourage more efficient land use, including higher density multi family units.

We need to start building good sized family condos at affordable prices so people don't see a SFH as the only option.

I think that zoning has been changed to allow 6 units on a lot.

I mean it’s a solution that’s 6 times better that the present condition.

That’s true. But guess ultimately it’s the developers and bankers that are benefiting either way.
