You did your best. However, governments should not be in the business of
issuing permits to land. It is the job of the pilot to make sure the
landing
area is safe.

That's a little different. Issuing a permit to land is not a guarantee that
the landing will be safe. Having a pilot's license is not a guarantee that
the plane will be operated safely, either. A landing permit should be your
expressed right to violate the "no landings" law. I'm still amazed that
local governements can restrict aircraft operations without involving the
FAA. (Thank goodness people like balloons!)
