In regards to the problem of selective enforcement, I know homeowners who were reported for a rainbow flag mounted on their garage while a neighbor of theirs with an assortment of plastic wishing wells and ducks was left alone. There's an undercurrent of petty vindictiveness behind some reporting.
Making this the responsibility of Community Standards would alleviate 100% of my own reservations about the current
enforcement system (not the restrictions themselves).
It's an interesting legal point, but would the
Florida Sunshine Laws cover emails send to non-governmental entities?
"This law provides that any records made or received by any public agency in the course of its official business are available for inspection, unless specifically exempted by the Florida Legislature."
