Barcelona-style “superblocks” could make cities greener and less car-centric

I agree (and said) that a state law has no such US Constitutional concern.

If CA voters can’t manage to do this for CA, it doesn’t seem like it’s going to be any easier to get it to pass federally.

I pointed to an example of a "this" they did.

Just because it isn't easy doesn't mean judge2020 isn't right.

You said you staunchly oppose a state government forcing a certain type of development onto cities, without explaining why you oppose it, nor stating if you support the current forced state of development.

I don’t object to a state government setting restrictions on their cities’ zoning rules.

I do oppose states “[forcing] cities [to] have a certain minimum amount of high-density development every year” because it’s not at all obvious how to implement forcing development that is not supported or requested by developers.

I have no significant objections to the current level of state restrictions in my state of MA, in which no developers are forced to develop property against their wishes.
