Think back to the example in the warm-up: a business owner wants to open a restaurant, but many residents do not want a business that is open late at night near their homes.

how are local governments structured to solve a local issue like this one?

Local government structures typically allow for public hearings to debate issues of property use, particularly if there are variances sought to any local zoning laws.

In the example mentioned, it sounds like the business owner who wants to open the restaurant is either in a residential-zoned area or next to a residential-zoned area. So the city council (or other form of city government) would schedule a public hearing to allow views to be expressed on both sides of the issue before determining whether to grant the business owner a permit for his new business in that location or not.

the ss was the main organization responsible for the genocidal murder of around six million people of european ethnic minorities, essentially jews, in the holocaust. the members of all its branches committed war crimes and crimes against humanity during the second world war (1939-1945). likewise, the ss were involved in commercial enterprises and exploited the inmates of the concentration camps as slave laborers.

the tortures and assassinations committed by the ss were the result of an ideology developed long before the armed conflict, this ideology was based on the racial supremacy of the germans over the rest.
