To somebody deciding whether or not to come here, it's very little different from a subdivision (a huge one for sure...heheh) with deed restrictions. There is some similarity (very little imo) to a city government. No comparison at all to a county/state/federal government.
You are making the same argument that the IRS is making in its tax-exempt-bond investigation. I hope for all our sakes that your argument does not prevail in that process. If it does, we have a problem.
