I got 14 residents of Los Altos Hills to join me to ask for changes to local zoning law. The council completely ignored us.

You have to be on the council, along with a like-minded majority. It'll be a full time job for all of you.

The bar is more accurately described as "controlling the selectorate", you need to be whomever is able to rally the votes to put people on or off the council. That person already exists, and has a lifetime's head start. Good luck.
