Maybe it's because I live in a tourist-y area, but here there are all kinds of rules about what you can have visible from the street if you live within city limits. A while back, there was a whole mess over a woman having a suit of armor on her front porch just because the city thought it looked "cluttered"

You'd think there would be some sort of city or county code that would cover this type of situation.

My town has a portion of the City Code all about signage, and there's another on public nuisances which someone would cite if this sign popped up in my town.

Of course someone in my county set a barn on fire because it had campaign support for Obama. The code actually specifies how many political sign can be within so many square feet, even for residences.
