If you are wondering the neighbours are too rude to the house owner, Kathryn Kidd, think again. So, the pain appeared shortly after Kidd was charged for violation of the city’s rental laws, possibly on Airbnb. It is an illegal practice in Manhattan Beach.

Susan told the same news outlet that she was wearing eyelash extensions when she once met Kidd.
The artist who spray-painted the cool design onto the home, Z the Art, shared a photo to his Instagram.

Kidd, on the other hand, disagreed with Susan. She told the same report that the emojis were not intended to mock Weiland and that she was not violating any laws. Neighbours had sent letters and numerous emails to city officials, but no action has yet been taken.
