For real. Or if it’s truly public, then I can come build a statue of my choice on the location, and the owner of the “adjacent” home just has to accept it, right?
Some guidance seemed to me to be saying that any LFL in front of private SF property (as far as the street) would be ineligible. I would personally like to approve many LFLs but have denied some because they didn’t meet what I thought was a pretty clear policy. It shouldn’t be hard for someone with Scopely to clarify the basic rules. (It seems like there is a similar situation with neighborhood place name signs, at least in the U.S.)
The relevant basic rule is that anything on SFPRP (including being attached to the external boundary) is not eligible.
For LFLs, it can be difficult to confirm that something is not SFPRP due to land-ownership rules being different in different places, but the basic rule is still the same.
I entirely agree with what you are saying, except there is no indication that Aaron has access to any additional information since there was no mention of a DM, so the impression is that Aaron has rules based on an uncertain photo and an unproved claim.
