Hansburg said if cities don’t update zoning and permitting rules to let developers build more apartments, townhomes and condos, workers earning around $100,000 per year will choose to look for cheaper housing elsewhere.

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.
