It's not assuming that your scenario is impossible, merely asking for what trade offs people may make. After all would we really need a poll for "would you prefer more affordable housing if you still received optimal services and facilities?"
And certainly affordability DOES impact services. Since property taxes are a part of affordability (especially where I live - the property tax portion is well over 1/3 of my entire mortgage payment) and are often a major source of funding for schools and government services, it's not like there is no connection.
To get to where you (and everyone else I assume, certainly me) would want to be - affordable housing with no loss of services - we would have to divorce the connection between property values and tax levies for public education and amenities.
