Comment on Boy, 9, creates library in his front yard. City, stupid, shuts it down.parent

The title is definitely misleading and does NOT accurately convey what happened. According to the article the city didn't ask him to stop sharing books, and as far as I can tell they are still sharing books. Just doing it from the garage instead of a free standing bookshelf (the real question is, what exactly is an "accessory structure.") Is a picnic table a free standing structure? What if you place a bread box on it?
