I don't think the state should just override local city and town jurisdiction just because.


It's not just because. It's because cities and towns are not adjusting their zoning and housing laws to allow more homes to be built, leading to a housing crisis. Therefore, the state is stepping in and removing legal barriers. The state isn't forcing homes to be a certain type. It's literally removing legal barriers.

It's a quick fix that is ignoring future consequences. Like I mentioned early this would be an infrastructural disaster waiting to happen. In a state that already has an immense water problem, in addition to the population growth the roads and traffic are worse than ever before, and ADOT already spends tons of money on Phoenix's roads.
We won't get better infrastructure (public transportation) unless the density makes sense. Density won't make sense if dense housing is not allowed. We get dense housing by removing legal barriers to build dense housing.

Denser homes means better land use for things like water and sewage!
