Sounds like people who like power trying to exert control.

When is a something a flag versus a banner?

It's obviously to ban the confederate flag....as much as I loathe it and think down on people who do fly it, I don't think it should be against the law.
Where does the proposed ordinance prohibit someone from flying a Confederate flag? It seems like common sense and decency, not a content-neutral ordinance, would discourage that.

What about houses with twenty yard signs?
What do you mean? No one is flying 50 flags. How strange?
It reads like a limit of two and limiting the size. There is an exception for a larger fallen heroes flag, apparently -- it can be 50 square feet.
This has nothing to do with flying 50 flags.
No, there is no exemption for fallen heroes flags.

OP, love your "curiosity."
FC resident with a US flag flying from our porch, and this sounds perfectly reasonable to me.
That's probably not the answer you're hoping for, though.
Time to go back to the Dr. Seuss threads!

This resident is a genius:
Another resident, Adrienne Whyte, said, “I’m wondering why flags and flag poles were rushed into the agenda. It seems like solution in search of a problem and I fear the solution could be worse than anything we are experiencing now.”

How many flags do you fly at once, OP? We fly one at a time. I have no problem with this.

Curious as to what FC residents think about this.

Reduce size of flags 24 square feet, excludes the right to fly 50 square foot Fallen Hero Flags.
Lower height flag poles 25 feet.
Limit # of flags 2 fly @ home 2, includes national,state,military, college flags.
