Figurines of Barney and Betty Rubble stand outside the Flintstone House in Hillsborough, California. An attorney for the town previously said residents are required to get a permit before installing such sculptures, regardless of the theme. Hillsborough went to court in 2019 after Fang failed to comply with multiple stop-work orders, as well as an order to remove the features around the multimillion-dollar property with its 254-square-metre home. Fang counter-sued.

Florence Fang, a retired publishing mogul, defended her colourful, bulbous-shaped purple and red house and its elaborate homage to “The Flintstones” family, featuring sculptures inspired by the Sixties cartoon.
