- Approve zoning and land use审批分区规划和土地用途

Why this is the answer
Powers not given to the federal government are kept by the states, as the 10th Amendment says. States handle many everyday services close to home, such as running public schools, providing police and fire protection, issuing driver's licenses, and approving zoning and land use. That is why these rules can differ from state to state.
