I want that guys life. He's got the house, the boat, presumably the truck, and enough disposable income left to hire an excellent artist to paint a giant middle finger to his busybody local government and neighbors. Congrats to him.

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.

WTF? Why can they do that? If they want a fence they should have to pay for it.
