"I told the code enforcement officer that the Constitution gives me rights, and he told me that the city's laws trump the Constitution," said Greer. "I said, 'Well, no, it doesn't.' This is America and what rules America is the Constitution." LOL..Cool move painting his house.. Like right back at ya!...City's laws trump the Constitution.LOL..How can you not laugh at that..?
I had a home on the market. I was living in my new home when there was a wind storm that brought down a few (one arm load) of branches in the backyard of the unoccupied house. My former neighbor of thirty years, a man who had eaten and drunk at my backyard BBQ many times, filed a blight complaint with the town three days after the storm.
I cleaned it up in about ten minutes.
Later, I got three roughly equal offers for the house; I accepted the one from the unmarried Hispanic couple with the six kids.
I hope the complainant enjoys his new neighbors. Just doing my part.
Sounds like Volker missed his calling in a prior war.
Their worried about that house!? There are some really really rundown areas they should be spending time in. Probably too scared to go into them.
“”I told the code enforcement officer that the Constitution gives me rights,”
Ummm.. no..
GOD gave us our rights.
The Constitution PROTECTS those rights.
It can become America again, if more people get their heads out of their anal exit passageway and see what’s going on.
City ordinances don’t trump the Constitution but most likely they are constitutional. Google street view shows the house did need paint. He lives in a nice older neighborhood.

OK...at that point I would have FORCEFULLY ordered this jack-wagon off my property and told him to come back with a court order/warrant.
If he lingered, he would have become ^^intimately^^ familiar with my 2nd Amendment Freedoms.
Sometimes, being cordial may work. Stupdity needs to be met head-on with Liberty.
If continued harassment by the code enforcement people force the homeowner to move out, he should advertise the house in the College Hill neighborhood of nearby Tampa, or in East Tampa.
code enforcements seeks the victim of least resistance.
