For Christ sake, I'd go nuts if I had to see a discreetly parked boat everyday when I drive by on my way to work.
Good thing the ~~homeowner association~~ town had some common sense here. /S

all boats are discretely parked otherwise.

... if I had to see a discretely parked boat...

fyi: discreetly parked.

all boats are discretely parked otherwise.

I dunno, you "park" with enough velocity and you could definitely describe the location of the boat as a distribution.

EDIT: When I wrote this comment I tried to imagine how one would do this. Perhaps against a rocky shore, or falling off a trailer on the highway? But then these guys came into my recommendation feed and said, "nah, like this": https://youtu.be/zlFH3aC7Z_c?t=741

Interestingly this one was actually a town ordinance, not an HOA rule!

Corrected, and that makes it even more crazy IMO.

Etienne Constable, from Seaside, California, was told in July last year by local government officials that he had to build a 6-foot fence to hide the boat from view of his neighbors.

Good thing the ~~homeowner association~~ local government had some common sense here. /S

FTFY

A town called "Seaside" wants boats out of sight, amazing.

Right? It's like the Town of Swastika, Ontario. Hardly any swastikas visible anywhere!
