		Carioca on Oct 5, 2022 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Should billboard advertising be banned? We did it in São Paulo, Brazil a long time (15 years?) ago. It was a relief and I'm always a bit bothered when I'm on cities that allow it. It might be the case that some places in some cities should still keep it, but otherwise I'm still all for it

Canberra, Australia's capital, also does not allow (most) outdoor billboard advertising.

It's incredibly calming. And then it just becomes normal until you go to, say, Melbourne. And then it hits you in the face and good lord it's ugly.
