The Flintstone House is an eccentric house in Hillsborough, California. It was designed in 1976 by William Nicholson and most recently purchased by Florence Fang in 2017 for $2.8 million. Large dinosaur statues and other Flintstone-themed artwork cover the front and back yards. Town officials from Hillsborough sued Florence Fang, stating that her property doesn't comply with the community's code.

I've been seeing that house and watching it progress over the last couple of decades. The city of Hillsdale and its residents are stupid to call it an eyesore. It's the only reason anyone knows who your bullshit dank ass town is and where it is on the map. I hope the city loses its case and it becomes incorporated by San Francisco. Then all the homeless people can move in and leave their "shit" sculptures all over your streets.

I think if only the owner is white, i dont think there will be a lawsuit that will be filed. Rather, the neighbors would even glorify this house for its uniqueness.

Ma'am, please SUE those faux 'officials' back personally for violating the Constitution and the losses and harm that they have forced upon you and your PRIVATE property. Sue them for the damages they inflicted PERSONALLY, and perhaps their whole office needs a mass lawsuit against them PERSONALLY as well for allowing this and I can imagine many, many others.

@hobomike6935 2 жыл бұрын

She did, and she won. She received something to the tune of $125k and was affirmed the right to make the dwelling how she sees fit. I agree with you. Regardless of whether you like how it looks or not, it’s _hers_ to do with, not _ours._ (Otherwise we may as well live in a communist country) Now I personally DONT like everything about it, but I’m not gonna go whine and cry about what my neighbor decides to build or adorn on land that they bought, and pay taxes on. That’s just petty and selfish, and not the American way…. That’s why our country has all kinds of houses that reflect the owners personalities and lifestyles, instead of bleak concrete apartment blocks that are all the same and government-mandated.

For years seeing that house on the way to work made me smile and feel the California spirit - individuality, whimsy, friendly, and fun. Stay strong Florence!
