Good analysis, Max. Incidentally, my last two posts have been about family-unfriendly land use policies that reduce the availability of housing and childcares. The intent was to explain why young families or those who want to have families flee to the suburbs, but your analysis supports how a dearth of housing and childcare would also reduce fertility for those at the bottom of the U-curve, where they have enough money to live nice childless lives but not enough to support families.
