Billboards are heavily regulated and sparse in New Zealand. It can be stopped, but it takes willpower and hard work.

And a culture that has less respect for private property, for better or for worse. 4 states ban billboards fwiw

The use of your private property should not impede someone else's ability to use theirs. I don't think building airhorns is allowed either, because it really affects others. Or how you can't just build a kilometer high mirror setup that burns your neighborhood down
