Stickin’ it to the man

Etienne Constable received a letter in 2023 from Seaside, asking him to conceal a boat in his driveway, The Washington Post reported. The city said boats and trailers must be “screened on the side and front by a 6-foot fence.” Constable installed a fence — and hired his neighbor to paint a photorealistic image of the boat and the rest of the driveway on the side of the fence that faces the road. Nick Borges, Seaside’s city manager, admired the work and said, “The only action I’m going to take is a high five and that’s it.”
