I cannot believe the nonsense some of you are writing. If he has the
time and money to fight this he should continue the fight. Looking
at the pictures of his neighbors he has a good chance of winning
based on what is stored in others yards.

Jerry, you are supposing that justice will be served, because other places
look worse than his. Based on MY experience with the legal system, the
logical thing, and obvious thing, is often not what happens.

Let's just say that he appeals and loses, and continues to have the money
and willingness to fight, and it goes all of the way to the state supreme
court, or even to the US Supreme Court. How likely would _that_ decision
ever be overturned? How quickly would other cities follow with identical
laws, and THEN where would we all be?

Fine by me if he wants to try and get the law repealed, by talking with the
city, but to take it to appeals court has too much risk.

My opinion is that in this situation, better to have lost in Jacksonville,
than throughout the whole country.
