MANHATTAN BEACH, Calif. (AP) — A Southern California seaside community is in an uproar after a home was given a new paint job featuring two huge emoji on a bright pink background.
Manhattan Beach residents railed against the makeover at a City Council meeting this week, citing problems with spectators and asserting that it was done with bad intent.
One speaker called the paint job graffiti; another said it was an attack on neighbors.
The new paint job appeared after neighbors reported the home was being used for short-term rentals, and the homeowner was fined $4,000.
