Everybody has their “thing” when it comes to entertainment fixations. Maybe you’re a super-fan of The Simpsons. Maybe you’ve watched Game of Thrones beginning to end 10 times. Maybe you set a record for seeing Avengers: Endgame in the theater. But rarely does a TV series or movie inspire you to redesign your entire home around it.
Ah, but you are not Florence Fang, a retired publishing mogul who lives in Hillsborough, a San Francisco suburb. Fang is probably the biggest admirer of The Flintstones, judging by her home, which features giant sculptures and garish decorations from the 1960s Stone Age-themed cartoon – in addition to dinosaur and alien decor (we don’t get it, either).

The neighbors aren’t too keen on Fang’s animated series aesthetic, which they consider “a highly visible eyesore” and a public nuisance. The town – which prides itself on a rural, woodsy vibe – actually sued her, claiming that she violated local codes by not pulling a permit for the dinosaur sculptures in the yard. In 2019, Fang failed to abide by stop-work orders and an order to remove some of the gaudy installations around the 2,730 square foot property. She then countersued.
Now, the two sides have reached a settlement that includes town reviewal and approval of all landscaping “improvements” as well as a requirement that Fang apply for building permits. Hillsborough will also have to shell out $125K to Fang.
We can’t say we’d enjoy having a neighbor with a Flintstones obsession like Fang’s, but to each his or her own. You “yabba dabba” do you, lady.
