A California man ordered by the City of Seaside not to park his boat in his driveway devised a clever response to the authoritarian rule, hiring an artist to paint a lifelike mural of the boat on his fence.
USA Today reports: “Officials in Seaside, California, told Etienne Constable the boat parked in his driveway needed to be hidden from view or Constable could face a $100 fine.”
However, rather than relocate the 19-foot Arima Sea Ranger, the homeowner instead erected a fence and commissioned a realistic mural making it appear as though the boat still sits in the driveway.
“I’m not a rule breaker, but I like to make a political statement as necessary, as well as a humorous statement and a creative statement,” Constable told KSBW.
“So, I’m all in favor of generating discussion and making people smile.”
YouTube commenters overwhelmingly sided with Constable on the issue, with one writing, “How dare you own a boat in town named Seaside where you might actually live to be able to use it.”
“Yes! Stupid rules deserve to be treated as such,” another commenter responded.
Seaside officials attempted to spin the man’s act of malicious compliance as a win for the city with a few social media posts:
