The city's new sidewalk rule is killing my window display vibes.

My local government suddenly cares about how far my flowers stick out, so what's your best hack for this nonsense?

Yeah, I was totally on your side at first. Then my friend's cafe had to adjust their setup and honestly it looked cleaner. Maybe just try stacking pots or using taller stands behind the line.

Are we sure this rule is such a vibe killer? Like, my cousin's shop had to move their sign back six inches and it looked fine. Cities do this for clear walkways, you know? A few pots inside the line still catch eyes. Sometimes we blow these things out of proportion.

I heard the fire department in Austin started cracking down on sidewalk displays last year because ladders and hoses need clear access. It's not just about looks, it's a safety code thing most of us don't even think about.
