That's unfortunate, and you've managed to present one of the few good counterexamples there. Unfortunately, "<city name>" isn't really a great topic for a singular community, since cities, by nature, host multitudes, and are inherently political entities. The best alternative is probably to create your own sub, or try to talk to one of the mods about it in private so as not to create drama.

Unfortunately messaging the mods about moderation activity is also against the rules of that particular subreddit and will also result in a ban.

Okay, you got me, those mods are on a power trip lol.

Although it depends on the size of the subreddit - you tend to get a lot of idiots who complain incessantly about plainly justified moderation, and we have to remember that these are literally unpaid volunteers, they're entitled to take actions that make their job easier.
