If I throw a pamphlet on the ground I have broken some city ordinance or law. If I blow it up so that nobody in the vicinity can avoid seeing it, then I'm all good.

Bizarre.

Trash is trash whether it's a piece of paper on the ground or blown up to billboard size.



that is a silly argument. If you put up a billboard on someone else’s property without permission that would be illegal. If you drop a pamphlet on the ground in your own yard that is perfectly legal.

In your perfect billboard free world, would you also ban signs outside of a business saying what is on sale? what about signs outside a private residence?

What kinds of property would be allowed to display what kinds of sign?

I could see telling government agencies they cant rent billboard space out on the side of the road, but if someone puts a billboard on their roof or the edge of their property I think it would be gross to stop them.
