Description
Private advertising in public spaces devalues and pollutes our public space. Post-it notes on parking meters and those ubiquitous signs on poles offering to "Buy Your House for Cash" should be illegal and fined. They all have contact information on them, so should not be difficult to enforce. Ordinance needed. Should exclude not-for profits, garage sales, dog walking services etc. Needs some artful drafting and flexibility in enforcement. Like @#$%, however, we know this crap when we see it.

Good idea, but I would not exempt non-profits or dog walkers or garage sales etc. fully
Many of those are objectionable too, are left up long after a promoted event has occurred and usually become rotted long before being removed
Flexibility sure, be not complete exemption,
