I'm guessing that Seaside California is on the ocean and lots of
residents own boats?
 
A man had his boat on his property. He was told that municipal code
required him to install a 6 foot tall fence around it to comply with
code.
 
He built the fence then painted a realistic mural of a boat on the
fence.

I didn't see anything in the article explaining WHY he had to have a
fence around his boat. Is this a case of "Because we said so!" or is
there a sensible reason for the policy?

People don't like to look at boats so the fence is supposed to make the
neighborhood look better.

Seems like the same people that got their HOAs to force everyone to
park in their garage. No parking on the street or in the driveway.

As for the fence he built, it's brilliant! We should all do that when
faced with unjust laws and rules: either fight them (if we can) or mock
them.
