I can't say I have too much trouble going to interesting eateries and coffee shops around cities in America. I agree with you the retail shops are pretty much the same everywhere.

I see (and have bought from) small brands online (especially ones that advertise on social networks and podcasts). In my circles a lot of other people have to. I just assume that these advertisements are a lot more effective than billboards, so billboards are left to the larger companies doing more brand marketing.

Maybe I'm wrong but probably big corps keep buying billboards to keep a status quo (kinda their monopoly) and to prevent some new company to shake the market. Therefore probably they would be the same happy if costs of renting a billboard rise to the sky preventing anyone from advertising. But probably they'd better keep things as they are.
