I grew up in a town with strict limits on commerce. No billboards, no sidewalk sandwich boards, business were required to offset from the road, plant shrubs / trees to reduce the view, both the building and road signs were required to be made of ‘natural’ materials and colors like wood and stucco with minimal branding color ‘pop.’

This was one of the most visually stunning and peaceful places I have ever seen in the world let alone these United States - and there is not a a single reason we can’t all enact that law at a national level. We just don’t.

Of course this doesn’t begin to touch on the stalking they companies get away with on the internet.
