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 hope they continue to fight!
Huh?
This is b******t. Wasn’t is mrs. obamabutt who advocated for growing your own fruits and veggies for a healthier diet? Its their property, thay should be able to grow their own food. It’s amazing that 1. a “rezoning” by the city now creates an issue for this food growing family and 2. that it had to go to the courts and the courts ruled in the cities favor. What a bunch if c**p.
That needs to be reversed because it’s ridiculous.
