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.

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.

Sign me up, I’m in
Some places make you sign an HOA agreement to buy in their development. You know up front whether you can or can’t do whatever. If you don’t agree. You don’t live there. I don’t agree with it necessarily. But thats why I don’t have FB messenger because I don’t agree with their TOS so I don’t participate.
Ridiculous rule!
