Hyperbole, you mean the very thing I'm characterizing this as an issue of?
If you say -
"The City of (so-and-so) is attempting to prevent me from establishing a business which is plainly and clearly lawful under the statues so and so (x40) set forth in such and such, as recognized by the State of (Wherever), and City of (BFE)"
or
"My right to free speech is being threatened!"
Which do you think is going to make better headlines for the rags? Which will polarize people to one side of the issue or the other more thoroughly?

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
