Because people don't always understand the whole picture when it comes to their interests. Perhaps it's a city where tourism is incredibly important for prosperity. Maybe making things harder on tourists will result in problems for local businesses, or lower tax revenue that impacts the services the city can provide to its residents. And maybe not -- but it's plausible, and city officials need to take this sort of thing into account.
