The prescription here might be for people to be able to easily afford to live walkable to some of their family and friends.
Lots of things come from this: shared resources (less income need, less work stress), shared emotional support, shared childcare (less income need), etc.
Instead of single family homes (one family is not the atomic unit of the human species!) it should've been single community developments with 15 homes and a big shared backyard but still private for all the houses. And the landlord + all the tenants can select the residents based on their personal preferences and anyone can veto.
I think many challenges stem from the lack of this.
I don't know what the fix is though, because housing regulations seem difficult to change.
