This is just wrong.
It's not a government problem - it's a constitutional one - Banning existing billboards is considered both a first amendment problem, and a takings problem.
Doing it without compensation is a constitutional violation, and even if california modified it's constitution, it would be a federal one. Less of one for sure, but still an issue.
The current law (Business & Professions Code § 5412) is a codification of what the court requires.
- viccis 2mo agoBanning existing billboards isn't a first amendment problem if it's not contingent on the contents of the billboard. Much like some radio frequencies are reserved, other media are forced to obey regulations. >Doing it without compensation is a constitutional violation, and even if california modified it's constitution, it would be a federal one. Only matters if the constitution is enforced. Courts can easily overturn previous decisions. If there's a will, there's a way.
