Read about a guy that was going to be fined by the city for parking his boat/trailer next to his house "no inoperable vehicles allowed that are visible from the street" (in California, surprise!)
Etienne Constable, a Seaside, California, resident, owns a boat that he had kept parked on a dirt patch on his property. In July 2023, officials asked him to build a proper driveway and to put up a 6-foot-tall fence that covered his boat.
Constable ended up complying with the city by building a fence, but he decided to have some fun with it by commissioning a life-like mural on the structure.
Not wanting an ugly fence, Constable got in touch with a local artist named Hanif Panni, who happens to be his neighbor, to help bring the idea to life.
"There's some logic to the law about, you know, not having decrepit vehicles….and I figured, 'This is not unsightly.' I don't know why they would threaten me that way," he recalled.
