If your local mayor decides to allow a tower block to be built next to your house, you might be pissed.
But if the president says 'we're gonna take away mayors powers to restrict housebuilding', you won't be pissed yet.... And when a builder comes along to build later it'll be too late.
The president doesn’t have this power, or shouldn’t according to a sane reading of the Constitution. This needs to be a state level action.
