Fully digital billboards and a new smaller breed of cell phone antennas are stoking the NIMBY ("not in my backyard") fires yet again.

USA Today reports that the digital billboards you may see around highways are hated by environmental group, neighborhood groups, and city councils. They allegedly create "visual pollution" and some communities are trying to ban them.

My take? These billboards are fine in commercial areas, but there should be limitations on their residential use.

Meanwhile, The South Florida Sun Sentinel reports people are freaking out about newly installed cell phone antennae that look like traditional telephone poles.

These mini-cell phone towers help you get better reception on your cell phone. So you have people freaking out, yet they love their cell phones and want to use them, right?

The problem starts when you say where you can and can't put one of these mini-towers. But that's really a choice we've got to make as a society.
