My first home was around 600 square feet on a 25 by 100 city lot... had trouble getting insurance because the size of the home and the lot were non-conforming.

Mundane things like parking an RV in your driveway can be deal breakers.

All the sporting goods shops that sold rifles have been legislated out of the city also... they contributed a significant amount to the tax base...

Sounds like your city could use a good recall...

Current Mayor did a good job as a councilperson... just over her head as mayor and she was surprised to win under ranked choice voting.

Recall fell short on votes.

It is the most diverse city of it's size in the United States...
