How a petty fight in a wealthy neighborhood ended with a California home covered in giant emoji
OregonLive ^ | 8/8/2019 | Staff?

The emoji are bright yellow, with artificially long eyelashes and crisscrossed eyes. One’s tongue lolls out; the other’s mouth is zippered shut. They are painted against the pink facade of a Manhattan Beach, California, home embroiled in a feud between neighbors that has boiled over into a fight with the city.

The fracas began last year, when Kathryn Kidd bought the 39th Street duplex, according to Easy Reader News, and rolled into the neighborhood in a Mercedes convertible with a license plate holder that read, "Move Over Princess, The Queen Has Arrived."

This would be a great sitcom.

You don't have to approve of the behavior of the lady doing the short term rentals where it's prohibited, but her response to being reported if hilarious as is the over sensitive reaction of the reporting neighbor.

“so...next time he went to the mailbox NUDE.”

About the 4th time the Jehova’s Witnesses from the local Kingdom Hall knocked on my door I answered the door nude. They declined my offer of coffee and haven’t been back since.

Near us, there’s a HOA neighborhood. ..guy got a letter from HOA telling him they didn’t like the clothes he wore to go get his mail (a robe)...so...next time he went to the mailbox NUDE.

"Arcadia" The X-Files, Season 6, Episode 15

SCENE 11
(Next morning. As the other neighbors look on in horror, MULDER stands looking on as a backhoe begins ripping up the front yard. PAT VERLANDER runs up to him.)

PAT VERLANDER: (hysterical) What in God's name are you doing?! God...!

MULDER: Putting in a pool.

PAT VERLANDER: In the front yard?! Wh-wh-what are you, insane? Have you even looked at the CC&Rs? You-you can't just put in a swimming pool!

MULDER: (putting his finger to his lips) Ah... It's not a swimming pool. It's a reflecting pool. I checked the rules. (gets the book for reference) There's no rule against putting in a reflecting pool. It's very tranquil. You'd like it.

That’s a wealthy neighborhood kind of house? Yikes.


Billionaires living next to working class whose grandpa owned their house. Fairly small houses, 1- 3 blocks steeply downhill to beach, views, weather year round between 65-75 degrees, great schools, great police, only a few minor things keeping it from actually being paradise.

We in law enforcement call them “Carens”, as in “Hi, my name is Caren with a ‘c’ not a ‘k’ and I would like to speak to your supervisor immediately”.

I would think a slingshot and some paintballs would solve the problem. Well not the illegal renting problem.

My brother and I shared an apartment in 1973 while we were both in college. The Jehovah’s Witnesses used to come around early Saturday mornings (not the best time, for obvious reasons), until my brother did what you did. It worked; they never returned.
