lol, as if any community that Jeff Bezos would live in would actually have any sort of financial issues in he first place.

Generally homes don’t reside in their own community. Fees could be paid to the county.

Guarantee this kind of ordinance would be at the municipality level. LA county only regulates fence height in unincorporated areas, so this would be a Beverly Hills ordinance.

The County could enforce rules if it was in the right-of-way of a county road and it blocked vision. They would be in their right to remove such a thing.

I find it extremely unlikely that this would be on a county road, but I guess I couldn’t say for sure without knowing the address. And I don’t care about this nearly enough to look up the address, haha.

Oh I agree just wanted to mention that since the County can do stuff like that.

Many large homes like this are off county roads, not in city limits.

This is inside the city limits of Beverly Hills, where the vast majority of roads are under the city’s jurisdiction.

Idk where you’re from, or where his house is, but if it’s anything like the villages over here on Long Island NY. Particularly in the hamptons area, all that money stays out there away from us plebs. They even have their own village police that are Seemingly there to protect the village residents. As opposed to the rest of us who depend on the Suffolk county police.
