They may not have a back yard.

Several of the houses we have looked at have massive front yards and a tiny strip for a backyard.

And if it was built in a vacant lot it would be every bit as much of an eyesore.

People need to chill. It is made out of cardboard and will vanish after a good spring storm.

In the mean time the neighborhood gets to see something that is rare and lovely anymore. Children playing outside.

It always makes me smile to see that.

Geez....after it rains or snows once, it will be over. So let’s make a big deal about it now. “I’m from the gov’t and I’m here to help you.”

Was is the operative word. The fools of Ogden don’t understand rain and that it is short lived? Probably some A-hole neighbor.

They don’t have a back yard?

Yeah, I was guilty of that as a kid, too... The box got my attention first, knowing that it would disappear almost immediately, but the toy inside would stick around.

He can’t just reassemble it in the back yard? I mean, boo on the government hack for spoiling children’s fun, but since they did, I would just reassemble it in the back yard.

Beyond that, article says rain is deteriorating the cardboard fort anyway.

“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.”

Blasphemer! Know you not the code of the Freeper is “REPLY FIRST”?
