And the other 2 out of 10 support unaffordable housing?

I'm sure everyone supports affordable housing, but not everyone agrees with how it's done.

I don't think this is quite true. I think there's a lack of understanding that affordable housing has historically been a public infrastructure project until we stopped doing it. Anecdotally I know plenty of people who understand affordable housing as welfare that can't solve the problem, instead of a non-market solution to a problem that the market can't solve, similar to healthcare. Those are people who understand why healthcare is publicly provided and support it.
