The way I see it is that anyone can put up an ad wherever they want but in my own space I’m allowed to do whatever I like to block it out. Feel free to show them to me but my eyes so I decide what to look at with them, and the tools that modern systems have are the same as the cardboard I put on my window when I was young to block out the gas station lights across the street.

If they tell me I’m no longer allowed to look out the window without being blinded by neon, there’s a 100% chance I’ll move.
