How dare you own a boat in town named Seaside where you might actually live to be able to use it.
Gotta be in California ??

Yes! Stupid rules deserve to be treated as such.
Pretty good rule actually.
Elaborate. How is it good?
Usually there is some rule about paint colors and schemes, If there isn't, there will be next meeting. If my neighborhood was voting on an HOA, I would hire a property manager to write up every neighbor with a mock form but a legitimate letterhead with all the infractions they could find from a rotted gutter board, chipped paint, lawn of impure breeds of grass/weeds, unsightly interiors that can be seen from the street, driveway cracks, etc... Let everyone have a taste of where HOA's eventually go.
@@indykurtthis isn't an HoA, it's a city ordinance. Much worse.
@@blackout07bluecan't have a boat in sight in a town called "Seaside"? Stupid rule.
Funny, but the lawmakers responsible for the "no boat" law are now busily writing up a "no murals" law.
Art is an expression of free speech--1A
@@barrygrant2907 You be dumb
😂😂😂😂
You can bank on it.
Meh, just make another fence . . . out of boats.
The man is an American treasure. Humor and Art, given free to the public. It is not malicious compliance, but ingenuity. Blessings and kudos.
Oh, it's malicious compliance. But, it's justified.
@@trex9263
Not really that malicious. It is very creative.
It is not like anyone gets hurt by it.
Maybe just some ego.
Whoever's life is so perfect that seeing a boat is a problem deserves this level of pettiness, even more perhaps.
Well this does look way better than the boat.
I vote more
@@brendenbiggsjrlots more! 😅
look up "The Headington Shark" in the UK.
ESPECIALLY in a town called SEASIDE! 🌊🚣♂️🏖️
Can’t have a boat in “seaside”?
Land of the free🙄
@@tonycarabellese9981This is in California, they are weird that way.
@@UndedproductionLmao you see this in Florida and Texas and Louisiana and everywhere else. Do you have any idea how many boats there are in California and no one bats an eye? It's not a state issue, it's a local government issue, these issues pop up everywhere. Enough with the politicization
Not if Karen can see it.
@@no-barknoonan1335It is political at the city level. That's where all the BS starts!
Great story! I especially liked that y'all interviewed the artist as well as the homeowner.
I'm outraged he was told to hide his boat. Unbelievable. Brilliant idea and great stuff. Good on you
You're my kinda neighbor. Good job!
AMEN!!
Perfect answer to shallow control freaks...
And so is his neighbour 😊
he looks and sounds exactly as I'd expect. beautiful.
your kind of neighbor? so fragile and easily offended?
I’m so sick of city rules, regulations and BS.
I agree absolutely. The people are fed up. I'm in SLO and it's so messed up what they're trying to do with the Oceano dunes.
That city wants to act like an HOA. Well done to the homeowner and his neighbor for their creative way to give the Flying Fickle Finger of Fate to the city.
@@lostinadream1866all governments are two sides of the same buttock, no difference.
Who do we vote for that will actually reduce these government regulations?
@@crissd8283 that is a very good question. I think we all wish we could vote for a good candidate and not just the least worst.
In an article I read-- this man had lived at the house for 26 years, and a boat had been in the driveway for almost all of them... Why was it a problem NOW?
Because society is infected with Karens.🤮
One guess. New Karen just moved in.
I love this guy and his way of thinking!! And kudos to the artist for doing an amazing job.
That might be the best down low F-You I've ever seen. And, the person that reported him gets to look at the boat constantly and not say a word!
It's always the next door neighbor or the one directly across the street.
There was another video about a guy who was forced to put a *fence in his front yard by his neighbor.. so he painted it polka dots on the side facing the neighbor. 😎
@@jerseyjoyride1316 I know what a medical stent is, but what are you referring to? Never heard it used that way.
He has to look at the boat even when the boat isn't there.
@@jerseyjoyride1316 huh? Did you mean something else, and not 'stent'? 🤔
I wonder who the local Seaside boat storage company "knows" on the city counsel...
BINGO, You nailed it!
Great point!!
TRUE. FOLLOW DAT MONEY TRAIL
That’s great. Kudos to this man.
I used to have a farm house in Wi. It was common that young people would drive around at night and destroy mailboxes with baseball bats. My mailbox was not immune. I had a crumpled,rusty mailbox. The post master left a letter in my box stating that mail will not be delivered in my box until I replaced it. I had to pick up my mail at the post office. I bought a new mailbox and painted it to look dented and rusty. I am an artist so it turned out to be very realistic. The post master sent someone to inspect my mailbox and mail delivery was restored. I heard through the grapevine of this backward rural area that the postmaster as pissed off but had no choice. He was later arrested for embezzlement. I won.
The idea as well as the mural is beautiful.
You have to know that this the beginning of a new era in combating idiocy. This is absolutely brilliant.
Lol well said!
It’s always been around. We just hear it from all places cause of the internet. We would have never heard of this story if it wasn’t for the internet. Nothing is new of people’s stupidity.
@@bewareofsasquatch yeah but you see it’s giving ideas to everyone on how to combat stupidity. It’s going to take off. Just you watch. The seeds have been planted.
Idiot bureaucrats and politicians should get minimum wage for their minimum contribution, minimum effort, and minimum value to society.
@@bewareofsasquatchno. It is worse now. Some things in the world have been linear.
A person can't have their own boat in their own driveway?! Clutch solution 👍🏼
not when you live in a horrible, horrible place such as california, no.

@@billmM3605 NOPE
@@billmM3605They have these rules all over the country especially in red states that for some reason have lots of HOAs.
Amazing! Well done to both the homeowner and the artist.
That's an incredible piece of art, and the reason behind it is awesome. Great job gentlemen!
If people spent more time worrying about themselves instead of what other people do, this world would be a much better place.
Never a truer statement, maybe do the Godly thing and offer Help if they need it! Since you have So much spare time!

I bet next year they will ban murals on fences.
The ACLU would be interested in such an obvious transgression of the first amendment. What does the city government hate more, a painting of a boat or spending hundreds of thousands of dollars explaining to a federal court why their obvious violation of the constitution isn't really a violation of the constitution just because they are speshul and the roolz shouldn't apply to them?
Lmao
@@tranquility9325why are you laughing? I think he's right! 😬
it isn't a fence, its a gate...
@@murraymadness4674 There's a fence AND a gate in the middle of the fence. Watch the video closer. Also: "A Seaside man responded to a city letter ordering him to build a FENCE in front of his boat by painting a mural of the boat on the FENCE."
I love that the artist may get additional work from this as well, he did such a great job with the mural. Support local artists! The homeowner looks like such a chill person, this is malicious compliance at its finest.
I'm not sure how this randomly showed up in my feed, I live no where near this community, but I'm so glad it did because that mural is absolutely stunning! Nice work! Oh and bravo to a creative solution!
Glorious malicious compliance!
It's not malicious at all. Not as malicious as the incompetent morons abusing their authority and turning the law into a stupid joke.
Looks to me their in full compliance.
Passive agressive
@@dananorth895 Full compliance, which is also glorious and malicious.
This is the most uplifting, positive, and humorous thumb-in-your-eye anyone has given their local government I can remember. This guy really put a big smile on my face!!
If my neighbor has a boat, I say let’s go fishing!
Best part is the fact that those two guys seem like such cool cats, that the city knows the whole world is going be on their side.
Dude you are my HERO, all government including local government need to stay out of our F*cking business! I commend both the homeowner and his talented artist neighbor
You’re right they should definitely not supply you with water or electricity. Use that rugged individualism and make ends meet like a real man!
@@ES-gv6xl That person is the kind that will be the first to complain to authorities when their neighbors are doing something they don't like too.
I've seen neighborhoods in the US where people can do as they please. They are ugly and depressing.
@@ES-gv6xl No I pay taxes for that-lol you have no clue!
A technical 'middle finger' to the stuck-up neighbours. Love it!
It wasn't the neighbours, it was the council. Did you not hear that the guys neighbours are looking at doing the same thing.
@@margaretfrew6661 Plus, it was the neighbor who was an artist who painted it for him.
All it takes is one even a few streets over, to drive by and make a call.
Who says the neighbors are stuck up or cared at all?
It sounds more like a homeowners association flexing their power.
Absolute genius. Kudos to these men.
That’s a beautiful mural - well done all! 👏👏👏
Awesomeness. I love it when people figure out how to legally get around ridiculous rules.
He didn't get around it, the boat was parked behind the fence as required.
It’s still an “eyesore,” yet in compliance behind the fence. I remember some years back on the TV show “Little People” he was building a railing on his deck and it had to be so many feet high that it would have literally been at his eye level. So he added dirt to the ground and was able to be “in compliance,” yet out of his view.
@@RustyZipper Is it an eyesore? It's a beautiful mural.
@@MiltonRoe - I agree, but in the eyes of the HOA it’s still an “eyesore”
Bro should make boat mural fence tshirts. People around the area would LOVE that
Great idea!
That's a great idea. This comment needs more likes so hopefully, he'll notice it.
@burgeryoufoundbehindthegrill And use the funds from the t-shirt sales to elect some politicians who aren't stupid.
😂😂😂 I want the first one.
I want one!!!
This brings me so much joy! The collective middle finger and even better, the use of art to do it!
As a boat owner myself I absolutely love this!!!!
That’s the nicest middle finger I’ve ever seen!
Great ad for the artist also. 👍
As a kid of the 60s we knew a Guy who did the same thing with his RV...he built on to his home a garage large enough to hold the RV than had a artist paint a RV on the side of the Garage
LOL
😂😂😂
Didn’t happen but cool story.
It’s so realistic, the artist is amazing!
That ending part would be so cool to see, just driving down a street and seeing that the entire block has murals of thier boats painted in thier fences
I am originally from about 8 miles from this location, I wish I could be there to congratulate the owner and the neighbor artist on their ingenuity, creativity and awesome humor!!!!!!🎉
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I feel a road trip coming on.
Real man of genius.
Art speaks truth! Pray he gets lots of business and prospers! Beautiful!
The artist did a great job!
The idiots in a city I lived did this to my parents. My father was a veteran who had to deal with harassment by the city for stupid things.
Especially after they tore down the tiny house next to us and built a Mcmansion.
Immediately the people that moved in had complaints about everything including parking in front of their house, saying they owned the street!
My parents were forced to spend nearly $1,000 to put a fence up to cover the motorhome they already had before these people moved in! Distance from 6 feet high in the motorhome was 8 1/2 ft high.
The house next door literally blocked sunlight and they could see directly into our backyard from their second floor.
So what was the purpose of making my parents put a fence up, except for crossing my parents money!
My father worked in the military installing phone lines for the soldiers in brutal cold weather just to be harassed by the city that he lived in!
This is why government over reach has gone way too far. Our law is not for people but money. Common law needs to be relearnt by common people take back our power. Corporations shareholders were given priority in the 1920s and the common people have been screwed over, starting with the biggest fraudulent organisation, pharmaceuticals.
I live in an area where there are almost are no lots available new construction. The vast majority of "new" homes are tear-downs or remodels. There are also severe restrictions on the percentage of any given lot that can be covered. So the only way to get more room is to build up. Our immediate neighborhood is older, fairly modest single level homes, but many have nice views of the surrounding mountains, meadows and forest.
Most full time residents (it's a popular vacation spot) have trepidation any time one of these single levels goes up for sale because of the very real possibility that the buyer, often an absentee landlord, will add a 2nd or 3rd story, and (god forbid), turn it into a vacation rental. This inevitably means a loss of privacy, views, and all the inconvenience, obnoxious renters and noise that goes along with these types of rentals.
Happens all the time.
Well in areas of farmland, people move in complaining of the smell. Crazy huh? how about buying that well priced house near the airport and then complain about the noise?
@@dw3403Yes, and In New Jersey we have people that moved near Route 80 and complained about the noise.
I'd love to know which politicians family member or friend made all the money building those giant walls to "silence" the highway!
@@jerseyjoyride1316
Had a pastor of a mega type church in my old town who had bought a house on a cliff over puget sound sue the city because the cliff was eroding. Taxpayers paid the bill.
The art is incredible.
Real heros don't wear capes. Kudos to the artist and boat owner. These guys are legends!
As a former billboard artist myself; I applaud this! Great work on the painting of the boat!
Kudos to the artist! Very talented!
Art comforts the disturbed and disturbs the comforted ❤
A touch of brilliance . A classic " up yours " statement . Well done .
It seems unfathomable that you can't have a boat in view, at a place called Seaside
That's the kind of 3D chess I love seeing!
Bravo to this clever homeowner.
That guy needs to get to painting! I'm coming to visit next year just for these murals.
Pretty sure they said it was an artist neighbour who painted it. I see a future for him painting giant metaphorical 'middle fingers' at stupid HOA rules. 😂
Brilliant!just brilliant! As someone who lives in a city where everyone thinks they live in an HOA and are undercover volunteer code compliance officers..this is brilliant.
Stupid rules deserve creative responses. That was epic. Congratulations !
This is awesome! Great artwork too!!😊
He obviously isn't a rule breaker. I love that he did this. More power to him. And kudos to the artist 👏
Defiance within compliance✊🏽
He is a character! He would be a great neighbor. The artist is great.
That is the best thing I've seen in a while. Kudos to both of them.
My guy! I love it! The best letter of the law stand I’ve seen in a while. Chefs kiss to the artist, that’s perfect!
We need more uplifting displays of light hearted humor such as this.
So nice to see a good, lighthearted story. This is just great.
If you complain about someone else’s property, be prepared for some Malicious Compliance! 😂I love this!
Way to stick it to the man !!!
Not really. The real boat is gone.
@@bonzie321very dry🙄
I think if the world was filled with more of these gentlemen than the others we’d be a lot better off.
Boat owner seems like a very reasonable dude.
This is beautiful in so many different ways........
I'm sure someone in the neighborhood was complaining and not the city.

There are city officials getting paid to ride around and spot stuff without up to date registration.
@@intheshell35ifyregistration on private property? 😅
@@DannyfMartin absolutely. In every city I've ever lived in. Notice he put in behind the fence. They can't pull up tarps or open gates. It was his trailer registration they got a problem with. You know...tax dollars. You must be living a charmed life if you never had tags out of date or tow stickers on your stuff.
Well done! I’m tickled that the owner of the boat has a sense of humor.
It's his own driveway which he pays taxes for, he should be able to put whatever he wants there.
That artist is good! Perfect combo of owner and the artist!
I like the way this guy thinks.
Man that’s a great artistic rendition, you have a gift there
UPDATE! This homeowner is now being fined by the city for making a mural without a permit
Any person that thinks of creative ways of giving authority the middle finger, I absolutely approve, without prejudice.
I like boats and I tapped on this thinking it was about the actual boat 😂 Would have been cool if they opened the gate to reveal the real one to show the comparison. Otherwise, amazing job to the artist 🎨
This is why my HOA mandates how the fence can be displayed and prohibits painting them unless they're wrought iron.
Absolutely brilliant! Clever and well executed.
Seaside has WAY BIGGER PROBLEMS than a boat In a driveway
No Ship
Fantastic Art, I would hire the artist in a heartbeat!
Big thumbs up for the owner and the artist!
He made me smile...ear to ear!
Absolutely fantastic! Well done. Thank you for the laugh.
It amazes me how they cover stories like this and never actually say the words "trompe l'oeile.' Beautiful example of the craft.

@zrebbesh Are you really amazed that a local news reporter doesn't use the French word for these types of paintings? You must get amazed a lot.
@@ganbramor It's originally French, but it's a very specific type of painting and that's what it's called in every language where anybody studies art.
It's a great term and could've pinned it too.
The term is about optical illusions and 3D realism in painting for those that don't know.
@@kisstune I totally knew that. Uh huh, I did too! 😁

Must be an HOA rule
Wake up. The news report clearly says the CITY forced him to remove his boat.
It's a blue city, in a blue state. Golly, gee... why would Democrats act exactly like an HOA board, when they run a city?
It's a real mystery. Maybe you can solve it, some day.
And let's not pretend for a second that this doofus, with the mural, isn't going to vote straight blue, for the rest of his life. He thinks he's making a 'political statement'?
He's just coping with his cognitive dissonance.
City rule , if it was an HOA they could probably make him paint over the mural to suit their exterior color scheme requirements.
