How's this political?
It’s kind of malicious compliance. Neighbors were being sticklers about the unsightly boat without the fence, so he complied and had the mural painted, which kind of defeats the purpose of the fence.
I'd consider this more of a sparkling mural myself.
I was looking at the photo I bet if you stand a foot or two to the left the chimney lines up
Politics doesn't just mean national government. Local government policies are politics too
Because his city told him he has to have the fence. They wouldn't have done that without a law on the books that says he had to. Politics is governing, and part of that is making laws. Therefores it's a political statement to technically follow the letter of the law, while disregarding the probable purpose of the law.
