I lived for a few years in Hawaii, where they have banned most outdoor advertising. Having seen the difference, I strongly support such initiatives.

You can see it all over the USA, there are many localities and routes that have banned outdoor advertising, and when you're traveling on a parkway with nothing but trees on either side and then you come to the end and there are billboards every 100 yards it's really noticable.

Vermont doesn't allow it either and it remains the most beautiful state IMO

> And there was a lot of billboards in front of these manufacturers' shops. And when they uncovered, we could see through the window a lot of Bolivian people like sleeping and working at the same place. They earn money, just enough for food. So it is a big social problem that was uncovered, and the city was shocked by these news.

Wow it’s like when I move some pieces of wood or other items near my shed outdoors and I see a bunch of activity that I never knew existed.

The first time I saw a giant floating tv billboard at the beach was the first time I felt the urge to sink a vessel. I found it offensive but everyone else seemed to just accept it as normal.

That is an interesting take. Now I probably can‘t unsee it.

It only adds to the others.

I had read that some municipalities in switzerland were banning them.

Me, I just do what I can and at least trash the ones covering the windows on public transport here.

It is legal to cover windows with advertising?
reply
No idea. They put cardboard things, they don't entirely cover the window but they are very large and annoying.

A slingshot is a worthy investment for opponents of outdoor video advertising

Where in Europe have you seen this?

Don't want to doxx myself but no outdoor ads on the main street here.

Maybe Stockholm has some.
