"On January 7, 2021, the City responded to the same e-mail chain on which it now relies, with an analysis the City claimed supported its contention that a 2.3% growth rate was reasonable."
Seems like somebody either isn't pulling their fair share (of the required housing growth rates) or somebody is merely trying to build their tax base.
