Why your neighborhood is full of Queens Crap
"The difference between dishonest and honest graft: for dishonest graft one worked solely for one's own interests, while for honest graft one pursued the interests of one's party, one's state, and one's personal interests all together." - George Washington Plunkitt

Another well planned move by the government of NYC.
That's all right. Once the owners of those billboards realize that they won't ever be able to actually sell the space again, the costs of rent and insurance will cause them to be removed.
So change the law and have them demolished altogether. Shouldn't be a problem for a megalomainac who weasled an illegal third term, despite term limits.
Why not list all of the disgraced or convicted Queens politicians on one of these empty billboards?
Begin at the top with Brian Mc Laughlin and end up (so far) with Alan Hevesi.
Leave ample room at the bottom for future additions.
Another billboard might read:
"We're doing our best to clean up our borough government".
Yet another might proclaim:
"Welcome to Queens where politicians are most eager to serve a developer's needs".
"Anonymous said...
So change the law and have them demolished altogether."
there is a problem here, those con-servative cruds on the Supreme Court have ruled that this sort of expression is essentially the same as corporate free speech.
So, as long as both property own and billboard owner agree the -existing- boards me physically remain.
Thus the only remaining solution is to starve them out.
Order the owners to clean them or dismantle the structures.
