The #adfree town: *no* downsides (except for those who think they're entitled to a captive audience to force-feed their #brands - deeply corrupt, in my view)
So .. why is it so hard to achieve, politically? it nets the city a few bucks but what's that compared to the quality of life it destroys, at least for a non-negligible fraction of the population, while adding no real value overall?
Recently saw a documentary set in #Grenoble. It was supposed to be free of that scourge??
I was shocked when I spied one of those goddamned scrolling "in your face" ad screens that I hate so much, and that I can't bear to look at, at a tram station.
Even there.
I hope it was an optical illusion*.
* I went and checked, and it wasn't. There are even some digital #JCDecaux #CityBlights at bus stops near the station.
