This Is How You Fight Back Against Nonsensical Zoning (https://pjmedia.com/trending/virginia-county-forces-local-pizzeria-to-paint-over-pizza-mural/)
... Goody's is a beloved pizza restaurant located in the Clarendon neighborhood of Arlington. It's small, quaint, and locally owned. It's also been praised for supporting local artists. After the ownership changed hands, the new owners commissioned artists to adorn the outside walls with a mural of delicious pizza and other food offerings on top of an Italian flag. It was done tastefully and, frankly, was a fun addition to an otherwise drab commercial area lacking in personality. The county, however, decided to step in and force the restaurant to paint over the mural.
According to local news organization ARLnow, "The county’s planning department warned the Clarendon staple that Arlington’s zoning ordinance requires permits for artwork that 'relates to the advertisement of a business and its services' and that without a permit they’d be forced to paint over the mural."
Permit. Right.
Sooooo, now, this is what the county planning department can look at instead:

Gotcher li'l tweet right here, too
Goody's was like "Hey @ArlingtonVA, I see your heavy handed regulation, and raise you an eye-sore paint job that is fully compliant."
Thanks @ArlingtonVA, now we get to see this every day!

Lost the battle won the war. The idiots could have made an agreement with the owner but they had to show him who was in charge so they could get a couple of bucks out of him. But if a member of the LGBT community did it all you would get is praise for being creative.

Not just a gender-confused JF...if any cherished tribe of the Progressive Plantation did it, they would be cheering its diversity, praising its artistic merits even if it looked hideous!
I like this owner...
