    How can you tell me they have the same requirements and tell me they are limited by Article 1 at the same time?

    Cities/municipalities are not under the same limits as congress.

    The courts have oft decided that zoning laws (for instance) may quell speech for certain reasons. Making it a non 1 A issue. Congress however will not be the one in those weeds.

    Muddy the waters with all the legal semantics that you wish, but my point is the same.

    Again, not sure why you want an argument here when we basically agree.

    Tacky IMO, but it appears that the City has agreed - and the Court will sign off on - the consensus that the sign did not meet the definition of obscenity.

    I’m not a lawyer, but I have called on the state to help with some crazy HOA nonsense before (more helpful than I ever could have imagined). Others in our neighborhood have as well. People have the wrong idea about what protects home values (very area dependent for sure).

    I once heard that HOAs are required by new communities. Not sure if accurate or just for FL or what the idea is. Zero chance the next neighborhood I move into has an active HOA.

    People just need to stand up to the nonsense, you’d be surprised how little effort it takes to battle the crazy stuff.
