I would have liked to find out why this ordinance exists. It makes no sense to me.

MajorHavoc ,

Probably local storage company owner lobbying. Ick.

Retired neighbors with nothing better to do.

The neighbors complained because they have nothing better to do, but why was the ordinance created in the first place?

Because the neighbours with nothing better to do vote in every single election and are therefore more important to not piss off. Fuck NIMBYs.

Damn boat thieves!

Zorque ,

I mean, if you can afford a boat you can also probably afford a lot of other nice things.

Unless you spent all your money on the boat, and thus can't afford things like storage for said boat...

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!

Buffalox ,

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

FTFY

Buffalox ,

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

A town called "Seaside" wants boats out of sight, amazing.

ohwhatfollyisman ,

... if I had to see a discretely parked boat...

fyi: discreetly parked.

all boats are discretely parked otherwise.

I dunno, you "park" with enough velocity and you could definitely describe the location of the boat as a distribution.

Like what I see going between towns and there's just a random boat left in a field or on the side of the road sometimes? No trailer, just the boat?

'every day', here.

And he should be. Fighting dumb laws with logic is great.

Fighting dumb laws by creatively observing them. Is brilliant.
