    Mass transit should be free and not have ads on it.

    In fact, all advertising in public spaces (including things like billboards mounted on private property but aimed towards the street) should be prohibited.

      If I were “dictator for a day” one of the odd things I would do is ban all billboards. I think this every time I drive down the highway.

        In Washington State, it’s relatively difficult to have billboards along highways. It’s one of the reasons our state is still beautiful to travel across.

        Every time I end up in other states that have much looser billboard placement laws it’s just awful and I wonder how people can live like that.
