Wait until people find out you can make the government ban ads - https://www.euronews.com/2014/11/26/grenoble-europe-s-first-ad-free-city/

I like their future (so far).

Ban billboards. Very different. And are there ones owned by the city.

Honestly, not a huge win.

Banning billboards is actually pretty huge. I live in Maine where billboards are banned and the mental break from being constantly forcibly advertised to is so nice. Every time I travel anywhere else I realize what a huge difference it makes.

Sadly that news isn't how it is right now. Picking a random spot in Grenoble using Google maps and searching for the first tram station, I find 6+ billboards.
