Bizarre the home of the Flintstones is real. It is in Hillsborough, in San Francisco. But neighbors have already expressed concerns about the architectural value of it in their upscale neighborhood. The new owner, Florence Fang, is now for them also clearly gone too far. They pootte megasculpturen of dinosaurs down in her backyard. “A thorn in the eye”, is also the municipality that a process has filed against Fang.

The experimental Flintstone-house was built in the 70’s. For the curved walls, a special technique is used. The impressive domain jump for decades in order for anyone there from the highway I-280 voorbijrijdt.

2017 bought mediamagnaat Florence Fang, the original house in the San Francisco Bay Area in Northern California for more than 2.4 million euro. They did the renovation and added some distinctive elements to it: figures from the ‘Flintstones’ and giant metal sculptures of dinosaurs in her backyard. A bridge too far, for those who are already not very clearly understood in the house. For the local residents to fit the building in the architectural picture of Hillsborough, where, among others, the Bazett house of the famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Lived there ever Joseph Eichler, who greatly inspired and then himself in that region, a lot of iconic houses erected.

the Flintstone-home clashes with the other houses, the municipality of Hillsborough itself. Fang now has a process to her leg due to public nuisance. She asked no building permits for the images in the backyard, which is illegal would put down. The authorities also fear for the safety and have Fang there in the past already repeatedly pointed out. But the owner explained that always. They paid last year or a fine of 200 dollars (175 euros), but the sculptures are still there. Itself responded they are not yet on the lawsuit, but her grandson: “I think that those dinosaurs are beautiful. They do everyone is smiling and need to continue.”
