Etienne Constable, frustrated by his homeowners association (HOA) demanding he hide his boat behind a fence, decided to comply creatively. His community’s rules required boats to be screened by a six-foot fence, and facing a fine, Etienne built the fence—but with a twist. He painted a mural on it of his boat, turning the fence into a work of art.
His creative response went viral, leading neighbors to request similar murals. Etienne’s story highlights the power of using creativity to challenge unfair demands, proving that there’s always a way to fight back.
