Somebody still has to enact and enforce those laws, and the local government often does that deliberately badly … or not at all. They often find some crooked legal way to block it.

You could change that electorally through ballot measures, or competent reps on the school board, local legislatures, and judicial positions. Or you could change it through violently replacing the whole system, but just walking into a cafeteria with free food will get shut down relatively quickly.

There’s also ballot initiatives for bypassing your reps and enacting laws based on the will of the people.
Only sometimes effective.
