Clear Channel digital billboard invades Lincoln and 83rd
Posted on December 2nd, 2008 by westchester dad
Soon to light up your living room, Clear Channel is installing another monster bladerunner type digital billboard on the corner of Lincoln and 83rd.
You can thank Rocky Delgadillo and members of the city council (Rosendahl has recently come out against them) for this incredible intrusiveness into our community.
A recent “settlement” allows billboard companies to convert 800 conventional billboards to these things. 18 have been converted in CD 11 so far. In Westchester, Clear Channel has put up 3 digital boards, all without any public comment from the community.

As ye sow, so shall ye reap.
You voted for Rocky, you voted for Rosendahl, and you voted for Villar, Yvonne Burke, Maxine Waters, Roderick Wright, Jenny Oropeza, and Ted Lieu.
You accept the city council’s claim of a budget deficit, and call for higher taxes “on the other guy”.
And yet, you’re upset and surprised when they jam digital billboards in your backyard, light-trespassing 24×7 in your front window?
Grow up, Westchesterians.
You can’t the vote the Democrat party line for 30 years without consequences. Airspace confiscation should be the least of your concerns.
