Meh... I actually somewhat like billboards, at least when I'm making long drives on the Interstate. They're something to look at that's more interesting than farm combines, cows, empty fields, old barns, etc. I especially like the ones that mark off "landmarks" on certain trips... like when I drive down I-40 from Raleigh towards Wilmington, I know when I start seeing the billboards for boat dealerships and coastal golf plantations, that I'm nearly to Wilmington. They help remind me that I am actually getting somewhere. (Of course, so do mile markers, but counting those gets boring, and they're too frequent).
To be fair, I suppose none of this has much to do with "urban" billboards in particular though... other than to say that outdoor advertising, in general, really doesn't bother me. If anything, cities seem like they ought to have plenty of outside advertising.
