Flintstone House
An owner adding dinosaur sculptures to the Flintstone House did not make one San Francisco Bay Area town shout “Yabba Dabba Doo."
The town of Hillsborough sued Florence Fang last week, alleging she violated local laws by landscaping the yards of the orange-and-purple, bulbous-shaped house.
Local officials last year labeled the property with figurines of characters from “The Flintstones” animated cartoon series as a public nuisance. Fang installed large metal sculptures, a staircase, a parking strip, a deck and a driveway sign labeled "Yabba Dabba Doo" since buying the building in 2017.
Drivers can spot the hillside multi-domed home from Interstate 280. Architect William Nicholson designed it in the 1970s, the San Francisco Chronicle reported, spraying concrete over a wire mesh and steel frame.
A code enforcement panel ordered Fang to remove the features by December after determining the "highly visible eyesore" falls short of community standards. The city also charged Fang, former publisher of the San Francisco Examiner, a $200 penalty, the Chronicle reported.
The lawsuit asks a judge to make Fang remove the dinosaurs and figurines. Fang's grandson said in a statement that she “will fight to save the Flintstone House.”
“I think the dinosaurs are beautiful. They make everyone smile and should stay,” Sean Fang said. --73.215.xxx.xx |

It's San Francisco. Since drugs are legal there, maybe the owners could convince everyone it's a hallucination. Or they could say it's transitioning into another animal. Don't be so dinosaur transphobic. Or just put a burka on it. --108.69.xxx.xxx |

And being in the Bay area, I'll bet that's a multi-million dollar property! I'd hate to live next door, but it IS fun! --71.175.xxx.xxx |

Interesting read.
Despite, or perhaps because of its notoriety, the house sat without a buyer from September 2015 until last May, its price dropping from $4.2 million to $3.78 million, and then to $3.2 million, before selling for $2.8 million — a cool reception all but unheard of these days in the Bay Area’s red-hot housing market. --99.203.xx.xxx |

It isn't San Francisco -- it's a rich suburb 20 miles away. And this is the kind of officious interference that gives governments a bad name. Why shouldn't a private property owner put statues on her own property? --73.231.xxx.xxx |

In VT a guy tried to get a permit to build a building for many years and the town wouldn't approve it so he built a 'sculpture' that is a giant middle finger facing the road and they can't do anything about it. You gotta check it out. Hilarious
