"Lights do not stop crime"

I'll pretend I didn't read this, because you're simply against EVERY SINGLE study about this.

"This was NOT a politician decision on a whim."

Oh, let's forgot the rage Jose Serra had with that underwear outdoor and proposing the law approved during Kassab's administration.

"This debate was raging for years and only came to fruition after the inability of regulation to have any effect on rampant illegal advertising covering more and more of the sky."

No, there was a debate about OUTDOORS, not about the size of a store logo or shit like that.

And that was SO SERIOUS, that BANKS and GAS STATIONS never had to reduce their ads.

So, the little grocery store with a neon is a problem, a huge gas station with the Shell branding is not?

All the huge banks agencies with their big logos and colors are not a problem, the little pharmacy is?
