Remember Cary resident David Bowden? He’s the guy who did this, reports the Cary News:

On July 31, Bowden had “Screwed By The Town of Cary” painted in fluorescent orange letters on the front of his house. He says his home at 305 SW Maynard Road was damaged by runoff caused by town road construction.

Bowden is demanding the town buy his house. The town has tried to resolve the issue in other ways, but Mr. Bowden hasn’t agreed. So, if he plans to keep the sign, the town says he needs to modify it:

Bowden can paint a new sign on the front of his house if it doesn’t exceed two square feet, and he doesn’t use fluorescent paint. Alternatively, the letter outlined, he can put up to two ground signs that don’t exceed five square feet and 42 inches in height.

They can all say the same thing.
