Government Now Regulating Your Furniture

A Pennsylvania town is now in the business of banning couches (video) in people's porches. Apparently, among other reasons, the couches are a "fire hazard." Oh, and the wooden porches they're on are not?

This is absolutely ludicrous. My guess is that the real reason is that the local government officials don't want their town to look like a hick town. But regardless, it's unacceptable. What's the next step of government intervention?
