I don't trust my state, and barely have some trust in my county (the previous one forced our landlord to evict everyone, without cause, and in an illegal timeframe).
I'm sure if I lived in city limits, I'd be leary of them too.

what are you doing about it?
That's a long list!
Part of it involves ignoring the state's requests, and forging ahead without including them.
I have been creating local parallel systems using Private Membership Associations, instead of involving any public legal impediments.
I could probably spend an hour or more writing everything, but that's not going to happen today.
PMAs always pop up but I don't fully grok them.
