Compromise
I love perspective!
It gives towns legislative rights they do not currently have (but it is true they could legislate it on their own). I guess if you look at it that way you are correct that the town gets nothing (that they couldn't do themselves)
Guess what? If allowed to look at the other side of the compromise, the homeowner also retains a right that they also currently have.
Instead of taking anyone's rights away, it preserves the rights of both parties. What a concept!
I know I know it doesn't have a winner and loser:
And you're welcome!
