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.
