Why couldn’t they just put it in their BACKYARD?
FWIW, it is an eyesore.
We used to build these forts as kids, but we didn’t build them in the front yard? We built them on empty lots and backyards.

He should have built it in the back yard.

Five will get you ten it was a neighbor who ratted him out behind his back.

The obvious choice is to convert it to a homeless camp.
Then the ACLU will pay his legal bills to fight the city.

Tell the city that it is a sustaneability project to teach the kids how to live without electricity. Dip the cardboard in epoxy resin.

Looks like recycling at its finest, “repurposing” junk that would have been added to some landfill. Where are the libs when you need them?

I rarely run against the flow but pile of card board is a total nuisance. What if there are 30 mph winds or RAIN? Give me a break. Go buy a real fort for your BACK yard or take your kids to jump and jive but get that crap out of sight!!!

These kids have awesome parents. Let them play for 14 days, then after a few weeks build a new one. LOL

It was put up to last only a couple of days. They are NOW leaving it up the 14 days because of the citation. I would probably do the same. People need to lighten up. It’s not a permanent structure...it’s cardboard.

Yeah! What if Godzilla shows up and it turns out he is attracted to cardboard? What then?
P.S. It's obvious you didn't read the article.

When I was a kid, some of the neighborhood kids and I would get a cardboard refrigerator box(the appliance store was only going to throw it away anyway) and roll down hills inside of them. Good times.

We built a downhill racecar once out of 2x4s and bike parts.
About the fourth trip down the powerlines we realized we forgot brakes — and steering

Perhaps not. But I have a personal policy that if I’m going to reply to an article with outrage, I read the article first.
