For housing, like many issues, it's definitely partisan. One party is anti-density and one is a big-tent umbrella. Elizabeth Warren was on the podium saying, "build, build, build!" during primary debates, while both Trump & traditional Republicans grumble about liberals "destroying the suburbs."

Disagree, the fact that individual politicians support certain policy does not mean that policy is partisan. Neither party pushes the issue, which is why for example lots of blue states never advance on density.

I’d say all in all the progressive left sub party could be considered pro density but doesn’t wield enough power to do anything about it except in small municipalities like Somerville MA.
