This article is a good excuse to get rid of outdoor advertising for safety reasons.
I was watching some tours of some very nice metro stations in China and Moscow. I didn't quite understand what was so nice about them until one comment pointed it out: no advertising blasting bright colors into your retinas. Advertising in public spaces needs to be banned. It's visual pollution and it's using publicly funded assets to make tangible profits while the losses are externalised easily because they're not well understood.
If profit is all you care about then it's easy to justify turning your house into a brothel.
