The final cost to the buyer is more relevant than the cost to the builder. It looks like that's closer to 5-7%.

There are lots of small things that might take a few percent off the cost of housing, if developers and landlords are feeling generous. But we'll need systemic reform if we're going to get prices back to affordable.
