What you are talking about is slightly different.
There are plenty of communities where there are a variety of single-family homes, and MDU's. I actually live in one. However, the majority of the residents are of roughly the same economic status. Some have large homes and growing families, some are empty-nesters that downside to a smaller condo in the development. But for the most part, they are all of the same economic class.
This is different than thinking there is going to be a large number of upper income single family housing units that would find living next to a Section 8 kind of development desirable.
I know people who grew up in "affordable housing", and put in significant effort to get away from that kind of neighborhood, and would not want to live near one.
This is a real challenge, and it can't be legislated away, the fix (IMO) is far deeper than zoning changes.
