Where I live the council members are all pretty polarized and from safe districts. You might be able to sway them on trivial issues such as getting a traffic light put in or having a school zone enforced but for the most part they have their positions decided by what flavor of kool-aid their party tells them is delicious.
I think it'll be interesting to see how things shake out. Will shootings go up or down in places where any lunatic can get a concealed carry permit? Will cities that allow legal pot stores have better or worse economies than cities that ban them outright? I don't think anyone knows for sure, but it's pretty cool that we get to see for ourselves and move if we like the deal better in the other part of the city.
