There was a case in Yardley, PA, where a widow and mother of young children has an older house at the end of one of small street, but a street everyone uses and that the town is proud of for a number of reasons.

The widow, being that, was in lack of money and wanted to replace her siding with low-cost vinyl siding. The town would not allow that for its desire to maintain historic appearances. The town insisted she use wood siding which she could not well afford.

Rebuked, she expressed her displeasure by taking some cans of colorful spray paint and painted huge childish pictures on the side of her house that faced the road. I loved it!

I would not say any Judge should make her remove that painting for while "obnoxious" to many, it was on her own existing house, and it was a political expression not profane, libelous or obscene.

It is amazing how stupid and petty people can be. Town could help the widow to pay for wood siding and everyone would be happy!
