"Whitehead's testimony was that GGW would support a 1,000 unit building with 600 affordable units on any site in the city"

Yes. He clarified that GGW is in favor of development because it can provide affordable housing and others may oppose development under the guise of wanting more affordable housing but their actual opposition is to new buildings. 

That's why the council members are confused and needed clarity. Opposing new buildings ought to stand on its own but yeah people keep bringing up affordable housing. 

Trying to tie that into a gotcha keeps muddying the waters. It's not nuance, it's just intentional confusion.
