Someone one hacker news pointed this out to me before. I'm not convinced. Poor planning law allowed bill boards to be thrown up every where, I've no problem with advertising in my own country (UK), as it requires planning permission.

Also would Time Square be better with no advertising? Another extreme example for comparison.

I was in Times Square last night and yeah, for sure, it would be way better without advertising.

But we definitely should keep the guy that was wearing a mask that looked like it was from the Lion King musical, shirtless, ripped, doing bicep curls with resistance bands, blasting DMX at midnight. I'm here for that.
