Tbh my whole point was that giving local government the power to regulate whatever symbol you want to show from your property is absolutely antithetical to very basic freedom of speech provisions, no matter if it's justified with aesthetics or anything like that.
Other countries don't allow that power to local government to begin with.
It's truly incredible that ANY flag could be banned by government (local or not) in a first world country in ANY private building, even discussing the topic feels like 1984
