So, I've heard of cases where towns didn't like large 40B projects and turned them down, and then other stories like this where people say towns didn't turn down projects they didn't like, or "felt like" they couldn't. I haven't seen a good explanation of why, for the latter case, though. Is it just that the town governments aren't doing a good job, or do the big developers have too much pull on local politics (a common problem, but not 40B's fault), or is there a flaw in 40B that actually makes towns unable to turn down some projects they really don't like, even when there are sound reasons to turn them down? If the latter, I'd like to see a fix for that, but Q2 is not that fix, it's a larger repeal.
