I don't see why this would be a nuisance.

The CEO of Camping World, a national RV dealer with stores in 200-plus locations, is facing a lawsuit by another city over its massive American flag that waves outside a dealership.
City leaders in Greenville, N.C., voted 4-2 last week to initiate legal action to take down the American flag at a Camping World dealership. The vote came amid another lawsuit filed by the city of Sevierville, Tennessee.
"Not when they sue, not when I lose, not if they take me to jail, the flag is not coming down," Camping World CEO Marcus Lemonis said last week after the city council in Greenville, North Carolina, voted to authorize the filing of civil action against the company, WITN reported. "While I respect the city council’s position and while I understand they have the right to sue me, and they’re going to and I understand I have the right to defend myself, the flag is never coming down."
"They need to sue me, not the business, because I put the flags up everywhere," he added.
The Greenville City Council said the flag is nearly the size of a basketball court at 3,200 square feet. It flies on a pole that stands 130 feet tall, almost double the size of what is currently allowed.
On Monday, Marcus Lemonis posted an image of a complaint filed in March by the city of Sevierville, which had requested the removal of a 100-foot flagpole on its property, which flies a 40-feet by 80-foot American flag.
"The Flag will not come down," Lemonis wrote on X.
Fox News Digital has reached out to Lemonis and the city for comment.

They don’t really conform to “Military Flag” etiquette.
But it this is America!
That is the flag of my country.
God Bless.
Trumps should talk about this and make sure the whole world knows about it.
"I don't see why this would be a nuisance."
As long as it is lit at night.
Anyone flying that low should lose their pilot license.
Can't have that.
We got a Camping World here in south East Idaho. They have a big flag flying. Anyone wants to take it down, come and take it. Bring lots of blood. You’ll need it. They fly it. We’ll protect it. Nuff said.

Try sleeping near one of those things with the windows open on a windy night.
Nice
Is this the same Camping World guy who bashed Trump in 2017?
Vast majority of campers are white (from what I've seen 98%). Just assuming Greenville city council is not white majority.
“ Is this the same Camping World guy who bashed Trump in 2017?”
Yes. He’s a class A douche.
CW had a flag like that at one of their nearby stores. I talked to a rep for the flag company that installed it and he said it cost $500K to install it. They had to bring in a special crew from Texas to do the ground excavation that holds the pole in place.
Should talk about how zoning is one of the worst ideas forced on the American property owner.
If you were a liberal you would.
You can’t take the heat move.
It’s the sound of freedom. I’d rather have a giant USA flag making noise than a foreign, Muslim or UN flag raised here in our country.
