Hidden Mountain is a gated community, which means it’s not public space. And it also means this church posing as a small bible study would never be permitted to operate there, or in any gated community, per the homeowners association.
You’re unwittingly advancing my argument for the necessity of allowing owners of private property on public streets to be able to reasonably regulate what goes on next door to them. Why should only people with money get to enjoy exclusively residential neighborhoods?
And there’s no “Other than old town and adjacent downtown streets.” Those areas ARE San Juan Capistrano. It’s a small town. And the population is dense, and traffic and parking are a nightmare. Have you ever driven in the center of the town’s original housing? There’s barely room to turn your car around. There’s absolutely no comparison to be made with another OC city like, for example, Irvine.
Oh, and everyone keeps saying the house in question has a barn. So what? How does that translate to parking for fifty cars?

Guess what? If they rode in on buses, thereby solving the “traffic” problem (which is not even mentioned), the meeting would still be ILLEGAL without a permit, based on what was being discussed at the meeting.
IOW, you are free to discuss some things in your own home without a permit from the government, but religion isn’t one of them.
That’s not constitutional, and it’s certainly not what the founders intended.
Uh, SJC is more than just Ortega Highway, Camino Capistrano, and Los Rios. The whole joint’s pretty dead on Sunday mornings too, unless you want to count the 5 South.
