In the State of Hawaii the Outdoor Circle successfully made billboards illegal. Businesses can still have signs on their storefronts but that's about it. Many mural artists have filled the void and you can see some in the news story below:

- burkaman 6y agoThat's one way to deal with it, and in my analogy that would be equivalent to Substack banning ads within newsletters. But my point is that even where billboards are legal, most property owners choose not to install one. Why? It's because people are not money robots, and factor many other things into their decisions such as ethics, morals, personal preferences, cultural norms, etc. So, "ads make economic sense and are therefore inevitable" is a bad argument.
