SoCal Connected
Billboard Confidential - Part 2
In the second part of our series, we take a look at the issue of digital billboards. In what some call a catastrophe, the city council approved the installation of 877 digital billboards — which will nearly double the amount of these electronic signs nationwide. We question why leaders approved this deal and why it’s good for Los Angeles. We also take a look at the environmental impacts of turning Los Angeles into a digital city.
