I very much hope this bill goes through. The city I live in is a terrible mix of NIMBYism and corruption making it impossible to move an electrical outlet or put up a private awning, let along build anything on your property (have experience with all these attempted permits and more). The only thing that can stop this is the state completely overriding local zoning laws like this bill does. The state tried the carrot and many cities like mine ignored it. It's time for the stick.
