Whoa! There was plenty of involvement, but the city council did what they wanted, despite the questionable legality of doing so. In fact, they did so even with the heavy hitting legal team of several large media outlets fighting against it. They did create several exemptions to keep from curtailing STEM and it doesn't affect any existing flying fields, it's only around city property and places like Disney where the FAA already permanently TFR'd

If memory serves, even the FAA weighed in against them doing it, so if they won't listen to the FAA what makes you think they would listen to the AMA?
