It's both. Neighborhoods do often have input at community meetings, but actual regulations are usually decided at the city level.

The city under siege by these neighborhoods. Renters don't vote, NIMBYs who moan at council meetings do. Therefore, city officials either side with NIMBYs or are replaced with one that will.
