I agree with the decision. 

I should note, however, that Congress passed a new law a few years ago entitled RLUIPA (which stands for something I can't remember) which gives religious organizations extra protection on local land use decisions (and one other thing that I forget).

So far it's been held ok as far as it's been challenged, but I think it's eventually USSC-bound, though I suspect it will pass under this decision because of its narrow scope.
