The key is to link it to something else. Want rail service? Allow this housing. Want a road repair grant. Allow this housing. You know. Negotiate.
Or, you build an alliance against them, like how WMA was brought on board for a law requiring places with MBTA service to allow higher-density housing because it protects WMA from further encroachment.

The question is whether the penalties on the towns who don't comply actually get enforced.

That is the law I was referring to with my comment. That solves one problem, but not others. You still need to negotiate
