For Christ sake, I'd go nuts if I had to see a discreetly parked boat everyday when I drive by on my way to work.
Good thing the ~~homeowner association~~ town had some common sense here. /S

all boats are discretely parked otherwise.

Interestingly this one was actually a town ordinance, not an HOA rule!

Corrected, and that makes it even more crazy IMO.

When HOA Karens actually move up in the world only to fuck it up for a larger area.

Etienne Constable, from Seaside, California, was told in July last year by local government officials that he had to build a 6-foot fence to hide the boat from view of his neighbors.

Good thing the ~~homeowner association~~ local government had some common sense here. /S

Yes I did actually read that, but it's so crazy I thought it was a typo, anyways I corrected it.
