If anyone wants to enlighten me about why Oakland banned commercial billboard advertising ten years ago, that'd be great.
I can understand banning billboard advertising in general-- it's totally distracting, and people like me are advertiser's dream-targets because of an insane compulsion to read every single billboard. I cannot avoid one I haven't read before, even if it's for mortgages or casinos or the truck stop in forty miles.
But why just commercial advertising?
Are religious institutions and charities just not distracting because no one pays attention to them?
