Here giant ads are hung in front of residential and office buildings on a regular basis. From what I understand, they allow light to enter and even some sort of a view out. In return for allowing companies to advertise over their windows the people in the apartments receive a monthly fee. While not quite an inhabitable billboard, it does go to your idea of advertising used to subsidize housing. Here are a couple of pictures I found on the net: http://u1.ipernity.com/11/55/71/5275571.5e6850e8.m.jpg http://u1.ipernity.com/7/55/65/2715565.889b1a94.l.jpg sorry, I’m a bit late on this, but i want to share what is happening right now in Bucharest, Romania.
