Mayor

In local government, it's very clear to your customers - your citizens - whether or not you're delivering. Either that pothole gets filled in, or it doesn't. The results are very much on display, and that creates a very healthy pressure to innovate.

Zoning

Zoning determines where items can be placed on a property. Zoning also regulates what uses can go where. Such as, before a business starts up or property is purchased or leased for a use, zoning should be contacted to determine if the proposed use is legal there.
