Laws against privately putting up a billboard anywhere that can be seen from a public space, without prior municipal approval?

This seems like an odd question to ask, many many cities have bylaws regulating even smaller stuff, and they are often discussed on HN.

So the monopoly isn't just there because the city happens to own all the existing ad space, but is rather something legally created, and then sold to a private company.

Well yes, everything in a city is 'legally created'.
