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.

dont live in an HOA… all they do is keep money flowing to the contractor who built the neighbor hood and slow busy bodies to pry in the affairs of those neighbors … just stay out of HOAs
… sure is interesting that the “court” has time to decide such weighty matters …
It certainly sounds like it’s in the best interest of the People … right?
Court don’t have that fucking power that’s something people’s been doing since the beginning of time so they can shove it up their fucking ass
How is this possible?
What BS who the hell comes up with crape.
Ridiculous ruling. This Court does not care about the people
Time to replace some judges.
If my right to plant a garden were taken from me, I would move. My yard, all 1/2 acre, are subject to watering by rainfall and my vegetables are subject to my care. I am sure Miami Shores residents all have automatic watering systems and are top consumers. Now who’s the more environmentally friendly one here?
