What a complete waste of some bureaucrat's time. It will probably take an act of Congress to exempt Times Square from something the Feds have no business getting involved with to begin with.
Totalitarian.
uh I believe that any highway beautification act...would be meant to be applied to roadways outside of Urban Areas??
Do the billboards In NYC...block a lot of fantastic VEIWS? are they restricting Forest Growth ???
oh well
I’m no fan of New York by any stretch of the imagination, but the feds are so f’d up on this one, even something akin to a nemesis would be your ally on this.
New York, tell the feds to go to hell.
One of these days some folks in the Left are going to wake up and start realizing just what the Left as a whole is doing to this nation.
The master negotiator speakes
like this to Americans about America
but he gives away the Farm to Iran , Cuba , etc..,etc..
Good! Feel the pain idiots!
Dat's Racist.
I can remember going to New York with my parents in the early 60's. The billboard with the guy smoking Camels was the highlight of my trip. I'd never seen a sign that blew smoke like that. The only other neon sign that grabbed me as a kid was the animated sign of Paul Revere in Rome, New York. My Dad worked on the NY Central, and we got to ride the train for free. We lived in Rochester, and always came through Rome on our way home. We'd have our Dad make sure he woke us up so we could see Paul Revere riding his horse. I live in Rome now, and the sign is still there...working, even though the Revere company has gone from here.
This is an easy fix. Just put posters of Obama and his logo up every few seconds and they will be left alone.
Watch out Las Vegas, they’re coming for you.
LOL.
Mayor Bill de Blasio is a complete A$$ but he needs to tell the A$$ in the WH to get stuffed.
““We’re not going to be taking down the billboards in Times Square. We’re going to work with the federal government and the state and find a solution,” Trottenberg said.”
Good luck on that. You’re about to discover that under obama there’s only one way. His way or the highway.
You can thank “Lady Bird” for de-cluttering Times Square!
here’s a thought...give up the 90mil.
when you think about the signs it might be an even trade...who would go to Times Square without the signs? Loss of tourist $$’s? Loss of 90mil?
Hmmm
From the article:
“There are some who say that if the feds really wanted to beautify Times Square they might try getting rid of some of the Elmos, Kramer reported.”
What’s an Elmo. Is that a new dog whistle word like thug?
Chesterton, after a moment’s silent gazing at the millions of electric lights, turned to his friends and remarked, “How beautiful it would be for someone who could not read.”
Torn on this.
Hate big brother orwellian micromanagement.
However it is fitting that liberal nyc gets screwed by fedgov liberals.
Note they can tell fedgov to kiss off. Id have a little respect for them if they actually did.

You gotta love when Communists fight each other.
