No one is telling anyone where they should live. The OP is advocating for reducing the top-down forcing of certain development patterns that make housing more expensive and resource-intensive. How is that bad?
1. It assumes zoning restrictions are unilaterally "top down", and that they have no support from the affected homeowners.
2. If I live in medium-density, single-family row housing, and that's the setting I want to live in, replacing the adjoining row houses with high-density, 5-story apartment complexes on either side means, in fact, I no longer live where I want to.
