Scenario

You are a planner in a community with a new sign ordinance that prohibits banners from being strung across the road. The ordinance was adopted in response to several unattractive advertising banners that had frequently been strung across local roads and often become entangled with electrical wires. On your way to work one morning, you see that a community group has strung a banner across the main street that advertises an upcoming charity event that will generate thousands of dollars for needy families. You know that the money is greatly needed and that local officials and residents support the event. What might be your first reaction?

ASee the solution below
Whatever your sympathies, you do not have the luxury of ignoring the banner. Ignoring the banner because it is for a cause that you personally support and because you personally argue that it is more important for outcomes to be fair than for processes to be fair.
