Yes, banning billboards would be great, but not in Vegas - it's one big visual excess anyway.Wolynskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04428782184898610640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1852451045058053520.post-75702411644154156192009-10-08T12:48:03.444-07:002009-10-08T12:48:03.444-07:00Now if they could only ban all forms of advertisin...Now if they could only ban all forms of advertising!ABhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17159965456052359554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1852451045058053520.post-26614028478473496562009-10-07T20:07:26.954-07:002009-10-07T20:07:26.954-07:00We already have a partial ban in Toronto.

This looks terrible, I'm surprised no one has bothered to yell at whomever is responsible...<br /><br />@ Jacob - I've seen billboards in Seattle, but only on buildings and in the city (downtown). There are a few also in residential neighborhoods (there was one very near my apartment - I lived in U.district), but not too large. But you're right, they tend to put green trees ahead of many things and I loved it :)Mirelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12812450418473577892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1852451045058053520.post-24187233613668736782009-10-06T16:08:53.526-07:002009-10-06T16:08:53.526-07:00Less is more!

Especially since they use mostly big banners suspended on the outside walls which obscure most of the city's facades. In the beginning it was ok, because they used to place them on buildings in need of renovation but now I see them everywhere, even on historical buildings which have just been renovated. I don't have anything against advertising in general but when it's too much it gets tiring.Andreeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06543947975157342835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1852451045058053520.post-69530224422482889862009-10-06T15:36:58.052-07:002009-10-06T15:36:58.052-07:00Take 'em all down!

The market economy with all its limitations has served us well so I can't see the point in a complete ban. Can you?stromsjohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05524397187094481360noreply@blogger.com
