This is about 1 of 50. At least this sign is pointless, only people who already have an opinion know what Z-12-25 is

Doesn’t the city have some kind of rule about yard signs on public right of ways? Like you can’t do that without a permit and only at certain times. Looks like that is trashing up our city. I personally don’t want to see it.

Here’s the state law, which I think applies since Glenwood is technically US-70:

I think political signs are only allowed from 30 days before the start of an election to 10 days after one, and anyone can remove signs running afoul of that

Tell the city council ā€œno to parkour?ā€ I can get behind that message. N(parkour)IMBY

I do think the city can allow signs for yard sales and real estate open houses but you have to get a permit. I don’t know right off hand what the rules are for Raleigh. But I bet two dollars to a donut that the Not in my backyard tower folks didn’t go to city hall to get a permit.

I’m pretty sure they’re just definitely not allowed, not a lawyer but I don’t see how else to read this

I’ll start taking them down and let y’all know how it goes. Please crowdfund my bail if needed.

I love how most people whizzing by are just gonna see ā€œNOā€ with zero context lol

Did a toddler write the sign?

We need to crowdfund signs that we put next to the illegal signs that says:
:left_arrow: This sign is illegal

Tell City Council - NO to illegal signs

I have always wished they would ban them completely except at polling places. They are wasteful, create litter, and look like crap.

Agreed. If individuals and businesses want to put them on their own property - that’s one thing.

But on public streets and general public spaces, all these signs should be banned. Election season or not.

What we all aren’t understanding is that these people think that THEY own the public land and private parcels that are anywhere near them.

If that render is to scale, each floor will have 400 foot ceilings and the total height will top Burj Khalifa

Just print out a bunch of ā€œYESā€ and get a roll of packing tape…

Raleigh is a major city. These people should not be taken seriously.

They have a right to state their opinion regardless of the logic (or absence thereof) behind it. Whether they’re taken seriously is ultimately a political decision. Based on news today that Kane wants to go to 37 stories at North Hills again, the same debate is about to begin there.

The controversial but correct opinion. The complaints of a few thousand people in a few neighborhoods should not override the needs of millions of people who live in this region, and millions more in the future.

more like a few dozen tbh. many, maybe even a majority, of people in SFHs adjacent to downtown are pro-development. it’s the best of both worlds for them. they just need to speak louder.
