It turns out that if you set inclusionary housing requirements too high, you suffocate new housing projects and AND the affordable housing they subsidize.

Of course if your goal all along was to stop any new housing from being built, and to increase the rents existing property owners can charge because of the chronic shortage, this makes total sense. Campos and Wu are just along for the ride.
