Moca says Realtors are covering their a**es because they are afraid of being sued. Well so far the only people being sued are the towns, for taking away personal property rights. The State controls Zoning. Every Zoning Regulations in NH (RSA 674) comes from the State. Just a few years ago the State did the same thing, telling towns they couldn't ban Accessory Dwelling Units. Nice try, Deflecting the truth doesn't work!
