You mentioned HOA-type stories, and seem to have spawned an enormous discussion about HOAs. Just want to point out that this has nothing to do with an HOA. Second paragraph: > When the town of Seaside, California ordered homeowner Etienne Constable to build a fence to conceal the boat in his driveway, he erected the fence all right. And then he hired his neighbor, artist Hanif Panni, to paint a mural on the fence—realistically depicting the boat itself. So all the discussion about contracts entered to into freely with respect to HOAs simply don't apply here: this is the government imposing the requirement to build a fence.
