News, Owners of 'Starry Night' home in Florida allowed to keep paint job as-is (property, colors)

[JD59]

Nick Girone, the Mayor of Mount Dora, Fla., publically apologized to the owners of the iconic “Starry Night” home on Wednesday, following a year-long debate concerning the property.

Lubomir Jastrzebski and Nancy Nemhauser were originally fined thousands of dollars for painting the outside of their home to mirror Vincent Van Gogh’s “The Starry Night" in July 2017, with code-enforcement officers in the city saying their project violated Mount Dora’s sign ordinance, and might distract drivers.

Good.

Cities need to be slapped down with their heavy handed we are always right attitude. Truthfully that paint motif sort of goes along with Florida since the colors seem to be nautical/sea in hue.

Looks awful.

It does look awful, but I love their individuality. I think someone’s right to do whatever they like with their own home should be sacrosanct. There is far too much groupthink in the world.
