Theres a house near me that has the 10 foot skeleton that they dress up for all the different holidays. Last year they got a second one. One of my favorite houses to looks at when I go by.

There’s a store near us the sells a giant metal T-Rex and I want it. But it’s a couple thousand dollars. I’m sure it’s worth it. But I can’t.

We have one with a giant rooster. Still debating it, but I’m worried my SO would kill me if I brought it home.

There’s actually a series of films called An American Werewolf in London and An American Werewolf in Paris

Still waiting for the trilogy to be complete, starting to think they forgot about it.

Wouldn’t dressing up the warewolf reinforce the argument that it’s a seasonal decoration?

Good thing is always some kind of season

Yeah, but the reason it was classified as seasonal was almost certainly to limit it to Halloween.

This makes it seasonal to whatever season it’s dressed up as, which can be anything.

I’m hoping that tomorrow the owner will dress it in beachwear.

Also delays any legal action until the owner can figure out the next seasonal outfit.

August is a little tricky (floral shirt?), but there are plenty of good options after that.

Nope, a tree doesn’t become seasonal just because you put lights on it in December. Dressing it up shows that the statue is a general uses decoration that can be customized for any season.

She’s fighting with the city over this? What city had rules for how you can decorate your property? I can see a draconian HOA having an issue with this, but I was under the impression the city never cares unless there’s a code violation.

My hometown has city ordinance over fences. They have a max height and need to not block the view of the houses too much. It’s in place to keep the welcoming feel of the town iirc. So yeah depending on the place the city could be getting involved directly

I’d fight that. Surely there’s a fourth amendment argument there (e.g. I need it to be high enough that police looking over it would constitute an illegal search).

My city limits fence heights, but the limit is 1.8m. a cop would need to be pretty tall to see over

Anyway, if you want more height you could grow a hedge. Also if you don’t like the setback rules, a hedge can regain all the lost front yard

We have a fair few hedges.

iirc one american city tried to jail a dude because he “wouldn’t” (couldn’t as he was old af and broke) mow his lawn.

I dont think he went to jail but it was taken to court

Depending on the city they can be every bit as petty. Especially small towns that want to appear higher class than they are.

And the trashier a town is the more likely it is to have weird ordinances from back when they were trying to keep the trash out that they selectively enforce now.
