Florida’s Third District Court of Appeals has just made a landmark ruling that the Institute for Justice is calling “a major blow to property rights.”
Tom Carroll and Hermine Ricketts, 17-year homeowners, have been fighting the Village of Miami Shores for the last 6 years. The battle ended in a verdict after 3 years but they fought on. It all started back in 2014 when the couple refused to take the “advice” handed down to them by the town officials keen on implementing a new zoning plan.
The homeowners refused to relinquish their constitutionally protected rights. That is when town officials resorted to plan b.
The couple subsequently sued based on a constitutional infringement upon their right to use their own private property as well as a violation of the equal protection clause.

What?
The Constitution say we can!!! That’s the reason behind the 2nd Amendment!!!!

Dangerous precedent to set..even in a single location!! I am hoping this is a f**e story..or there are other circumstances we do not know yet.
If government tells you what you can now grow on your property then its no longer your property and shouldn’t be required to pay property taxes.
What are we going to eat, Soilent Green?
I have a way to stop them from telling me what I can grow
Just more insanity.
Stupid
They do not want anyone to be self sufficient. They want control of others lives!!!
