Borough May Ban Couches

STROUDSBURG, Pa. (AP) — A northeastern Pennsylvania borough is considering an ordinance that would ban couches on front porches and lawns. Stroudsburg officials say the ban would apply to upholstered furniture that is manufactured primarily for indoor use. Code enforcement officer Jeff Wilkins says the fire department is concerned about safety hazards. But he says the borough is thinking about aesthetics, too. A public hearing is set to be held on the ordinance next month. Some residents say the idea is ridiculous.
