Unfortunately cities get away with passing ordinances that are against 
state and federal regulations on a daily basis, based both on 
interpretation and out and out ignoring those regulations.  And those 
regulations have the force of law behind them until some one challenges 
them to the point of either going to court or the city finally backs 
down before going to court, which leaves them a lot more wiggle room 
than a court decision. They change their stance, or local regulation 
slightly, pushing for as much as they can get away with.
