But I think it had to do with “house for sale” signs rather than political signs.

I don’t think anyone wants to see that but when it has happened in other communities, those limits have consistently been struck down on First Amendment grounds.

Presumably that’s one of the exceptions that allows for closer placement. (Makes for easy mowing, though :-)

We’ve never had a trick or treater since. I guess the thought of an actual Republican was just too scary.
