Yes! And thank you for approaching this with a thoughtful question.
One solution to this would be to guarantee a unit in any multi family or apartment building to the current resident, and pay for their relocation while the new unit is being built.
Alternatively, buy units from people who are leaving or who have passed away.
We do need to knock down some houses to build more housing, but we can do it in a way that is minimally disruptive.

You are just increasing the cost of the building's rent with this stuff. You'll have a few birthright units and everything else will be luxury to cover costs. This is the same problem we currently have with affordable units, huge missing middle.
