state full of reactionaries won't let the city annex neighboring towns

You don't get denser by annexing more land
-
you do it by consolidating municipal control over the actual economic boundaries of your city
-
areas that would be neighborhoods in another city are run as independent suburbs in the boston metro area, and resist density increases as a result
-
Somerville, Cambridge, Everett, Chelsea; all significantly denser than eg. Dorchester, Roslindale, etc If the city can't add density within its own boundaries it won't find that any easier by expanding them
-
the larger government would be more resistant to the influences of landlords
