Or instead of just hoping that cities will change, just have the state disallow municipalities from doing things like height restrictions in zoning. We know that NIMBYism is a problem
people who will agree that something should be built will still oppose having it built near them. If people in an area follow that mentality and pass laws restricting more housing from being built, one winds up with housing shortages. Ergo, you don't want to permit local restrictions on construction to be passed. Or at minimum don't want to permit it if housing prices exceed a certain level.

The logical thing for California to do is get a pro housing ballot on the measure that amends the state constitution to assign land Houston zoning responsibilities to the state government which then assigns it to cities and counties only if they're in compliance. If they don't play ball then the power automatically reverts to a Central State office which will aggressively make an example of them
