I guess I just don't understand how "family housing" is a euphemism for anything negative. It means big units, right? A 4-bedroom can be rented by a straight family, a gay family, a single mother with 3 kids, or 4 friends. Discrimination would be on the sales/rental end, not in construction.
If someone can point to an alderman telling a developer not to rent to "those people", then fire away with the lawsuits.

I mean, "traffic and congestion" are much more real euphemisms when an alderman says they're going to chop 10 floors and 200 units off a development. That's where supply of studios and single bedrooms is actually restricted. If it's discrimination to say "family housing", it should equally be discrimination for an alderman to say "This development is too tall, too dense and out of context with the neighborhood"

The only thing creating a zero-sum game between single-occupant housing and family housing is the city restricting zoning and chopping down developments.
