The town of Hillsborough has had enough of a house designed to look like the classic 1960s sitcom, complete with giant dinosaurs and a "Yabba Dabba Do" sign. The town alleges that the homeowner has been making The Flintstones-inspired changes to his property without obtaining the proper permits.

The town of Hillsborough's lawsuit declaring a Flintstones-themed house a "public nuisance" has generated national headlines (https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/18/us/flintstone-house.html). In response to the publicity, homeowner Florence Fang says all the supportive comments "made me realize that I am not the only one fighting for the legendary Flintstones. It is truly an American memory that makes people smile and feel good about themselves. Let’s keep Fred and the Dino alive and work together to keep on smiling. I will fight the best I can."

Hillsborough, the fourth-richest town in the United States, has sued the Fang family, contending that its tribute to the 1960s cartoon is a community eyesore.

The Fang family announced it is filing a countersuit in response to the lawsuit from the Silicon Valley town of Hillsborough, which claimed that the family's Flintstones decorations have become an eyesore. “We’re in the United States, they can’t tell you to get rid of a dinosaur,” said the family's attorney. The Fangs also claim that town officials urged her to "speak English" during legal negotiations.
