On my last trip it looked like the city government was doing a great job building commerce and supporting businesses.

The rents vs. price points and the general effectiveness of local government have been impressive. 

I don't know about what you "can" do since if it's in legal agreement between both parties (lease) that should govern. 

Do they also wear tin foil hats or believe the moon landing was a government hoax. 

Usually, the meeting to decide the fine can be anywhere from 10-90 days.Most governing documents have a minimum number of days a homeowner must be notified but not a maximum. 

Now they have different leadership in government and the growth is exploding. 

Any rent control from government or all free market?

The Federal Government can Trump the states.Marijuana is still a Schedule 1 drug (LSD, Cocaine, etc) for some reason.
