I guess buying a house next to one is one thing. Permitting one after people bought a house is a bit different. And a substation might be required, so I guess bring it on. Solar panels in a parking lot could be done anywhere. Why install them in the parking lot in a quaint residential neighborhood? Why not just put them near city hall or any land the city owns but isn't in residential? I get it, but I don't think it was really necessary or any more useful than solar on tons of other locations. The city is going to pay for x amount of electricity one way or another. They could have stick that solar in the bus terminal parking lot in the commercial side of town.
