No, it's not ok. Cities are dynamic, and always changing. They are either growing or dying. A very few may have found temporary equilibrium. If a city wants to stay the same size, what they usually mean is that they wish to stay the same size at the same affordability level. However, since change is constant, their best attempt regulates growth. The natural result is economic stagnation (leading to eventual death), or city growth in spite of the regulation (leading to runaway prices). Every city has the right to choose HOW they will change. They do not have the right to insist that they WON'T change, or that such a thing is even possible.
