the supreme court of ohio just ruled against common sense again—here’s what they did to our neighborhood.
I’m a lifelong resident of this town, and I’m absolutely fed up. The supreme court of ohio decided today that a homeowner can’t put up a simple privacy fence without a year-long permit battle, but they’ve got no problem letting out-of-state developers bulldoze our parks for luxury apartments. Tell me where the logic is in that. My neighbor spent three months fighting city hall just to block the view of a busy road, while over on Elm Street, they’re paving over the only green space our kids have left. This isn’t justice—it’s a rubber stamp for bureaucracy. I voted with my gut last election, but these judges clearly don’t live in the real world. We need leaders who understand that a fence isn’t a crime, and a playground isn’t a profit center. Common sense says protect our homes first. When did the law stop seeing that?
