"What the court is saying is there is this power," he added. "That leaves the ball in the court of the legislature."

Let's see how quickly the legislature - including those in the pockets of big developers - move to change that power and give rights back to the citizens. I'm not holding my breath.
I think this excellent news. It may not be the cure-all to that ourageous, f-cked up ruling by the SCOTUS, but it's a step in the right direction. I think it shows there's at least some hope for our elected officials; they heard the peoples outrage and acted accordingly.
