Stop the Billboard!

Uploaded by b2b3b4b5b61 on Mar 4, 2010
Giant color video signs are not what anyone has in mind when they think of Washington, D.C. But unless we stop them, these huge, moving-picture billboards will make cherished parts of our beautiful city look more like Times Square. As you read this, Gallery Place Partners LLC and Western Development Corporation are pushing hard for city approval to erect two signs in Chinatown that would violate existing DC law (Building Code and Public Space Regulations). If we allow these signs to be installed permanently at the corner of 7th and G Street NW, not only would an important downtown neighborhood become blighted, but it would be just a matter of time before video billboards would pop up all over the capital.

Moscow's giant billboard dilemmaby AlJazeeraEnglish5,210 views
So these transients succeed in suffocating the city with history and tradition and render it into a giant outdoor history museum instead of letting it evolve in a modern, 21st Century world class city that it should be.

Oddly enough, most people behind this are temporary transients who treat the city as a symbol and not the same way as one would treat their hometown. Most people seem to want a little glitz for their hometown. Most long term residents of DC (the working class blacks) are generally indifferent to this.

Too bad the people behind this movement can't seem to comprehend that DC needs a little glitz to it. The lst thing DC needs to do is simply conform to people's expectations of it as the description suggests.
