Retired publishing mogul Florence Fang won her years-long legal battle with a local California government to keep the life-sized sculptures outside her home
Fang purchased the home in 2017 for $2.8 million and started making additions such as the dinosaurs and Flintstone characters
Fang also added a giant sign that read 'yabba dabba doo' to her lawn in orange letters
The Town of Hillsborough sued Fang in 2019, saying it was an eyesore, and that she had not gone through the proper channels for the construction
Fang countersued, saying the town was harassing her and violating her First Amendment rights
In a dispute that pitted property rights against government rules that played out in international media, retired publishing mogul Florence Fang defended her colorful, bulbous-shaped house and its elaborate homage to 'The Flintstones' family, featuring Stone Age sculptures inspired by the 1960s cartoon, along with aliens and other oddities.

But the house was ok???
In my town,a guy went broke building a huge castle in the middle of nowhere and wants millions for it...Let them have their fun..Not hurting anyone
wonder if she drives the ecological friendly flintstone mobile...
Bishop’s castle? He went through hell trying to build that, too.
The people of Dubai don't watch "The Flintstones", but the people of Abu Dhabi Do ...
Whatever, it’s her money and she can do what she wants provided she’s not hurting anyone or creating a public nuisance (e.g., hoarding).
I would have had the Great Kazoo hook me up.
This house is visible from highway 280. On the side of a ill.
The Flintstones house didn’t look like that.
Not Flintstones.
Just weird.
No,but interesting that people who build castles go through hell....
I think she prefers the Barney Copter.
Just because it is an Eyesore does not mean the state needs to get involved, just leave people alone, live and let live, what ever happened to that?
Saddam had a Flintstone house too, but the neighbors never. complained.
There is precedent for a person to completely immerse themselves in a fantasy world, often of their own creation. Notable here are any and all Marxists and CRT adherents. Fiction is mandatory with them.
Here, a woman that cannot get enough of Hanna Barbera cartoons, is doing her own thing. It is her land, and as far as I’ve read there is no HOA, so the city has no right to do much of anything. This isn’t Maga, its Yabba Dabba Do!
If she starts selling tickets for tours, they might get her on a zoning violation, saying that her property is not zoned for an amusement park. But, the Biden Politburo has plans for upending all residential and suburban areas using zoning manipulation anyway, to destroy private home ownership. So, get ready for that nonsense.
Anyone who can poke in the eyes of the zoning fascists and nosy neighbors at city council meetings is okay in my book.
I guess the faggot rainbow made her safe from the court.
