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.

. I think they’re all out of their$#%&!@*Minds that’s just stupid even think it let alone say it
Well I would love to see them come to my property all tell me I can’t grow any vegetables. It would not turn out well for who would be delivering the message .
If I remember correctly, these people were using their entire front yard for a vegetable garden. They live in an HOA controlled subdivision and apparently the neighbors objected. This certainly doesn’t mean no one can have a reasonable garden. Guess they should have read the rules before they bought.
Although I disagree with that ruling, it should be known that this is referring to front yard gardens, not back yard gardens. To the snobby among us, seeing those unkempt vegetables growing ruins a neighborhood.
You all are crazy. Need term limits now.
F**K YOU!!! I will grow what the$#%&!@*I want!!!
