Local gov't has way more power than most people know. What you're describing are called Environmental Impact Assessments. Similar to Eminent Domain and community zoning/ special use zones, local gov't can literally say that your zip code is now designated for commercial zoning, fine you for living in your home, and either push you to sell the land to a commercial developer (if they're being kind) or just levy enough fines on you until they can foreclose for the full value of the home/ land. They can do this to an entire neighborhood or one land parcel in particular.

Your mayor or city council can absolutely steal your land. You're a serf on their fiefdom.

So gaining control over local government is actually a worthwhile objective.

Very, very much so. Depending on the region, it can be pretty easy to become a big fish in a small pond.
