The one thing right-wing and left-wing individuals agree on (if they're rich and own their own home) is NIMBYism. Suburbanites in SF and Dallas may not agree on much, but neither group wants a bunch of social housing (or any dense housing, really) built in Atherton or University Park. So yes, I think both left- and right-wing NIMBYs will likely be annoyed at this policy regardless of which party they supported in the last election.
I think when Greetingsfromcanada mentions "leftists", they are referring to your idea that the government should build all the affordable housing and that the market can never address the affordability issue.
