Blah, blah, blah. Too many stupid rules. Of course, someone will say that a person could put up an obscene (by most standards) mural, if there are no rules. But at some point this just gets ridiculous.

Assuming Salem is like Eugene, putting up the mural without permission was the only way it would happen. Permits and hearings would go on for years until he gave up.

Here are a couple examples from Eugene. There used to be a Veterans’ Day parade in Eugene, but the city bureaucracies combined efforts to eventually drive it away. Luckily Springfield is just across the I-5 freeway and welcomed it. When the US went into Kuwait in 1991, a motel put out flags as it did for holidays on the parking strip, but it had to remove them because it was “an illegal display of the American flag”.
