Lots of assumptions. Cities have bylaws and ordinances, whose property it is doesn't matter if they are still breaking those laws. Cities are well within their rights to correct the issue. Don't like it vote and change the rules.
No assumptions. Facts taken from the news story. As far as law you are incorrect. The city still needs to follow the law. Governments are not exempt from the law. I am very well-versed in local municipal law and ordinances. They need to provide proper notice to the landowner and then the landowner has the opportunity to litigate it. For example if my town tells me to take a sign down I can immediately file in order to show cause in the county Superior Court to prevent them from taking any action. I’ve been practicing law for quite some time so I don’t need a lecture on what the law is.
We don’t live in a communist state yet. It’s unfortunate that you don’t understand your rights as a citizen And simply coward to authority or more likely you were only pro government overreach when they selectively attack conservatives.
That being said municipalities have way too much power and they need to be restricted they are almost at the level of homeowners association’s were property owners have to coward to their silly demands.
It’s amazing how you fucking liberals don’t wanna put your hands up when the cops tell you to don’t want to turn over your ID or driver’s license but then tell us to Shut the fuck up and follow the “law”. Why don’t you open your municipal code and actually read it.
