"Many years ago landscape architects used my +/-7 paper as a basis to
pass local laws restricting the number of items on a billboard. It was
funded by the big motel chains; if you run a mom-and-pop motel you have
to put a lot of information on your sign, but if you have a franchise
everybody knows you have hot and cold running water, color televisions,
free breakfasts, etc. The restriction on billboard content was driving
the small motels out of business."
