I won't comment on the political hypothesis, but I can say with absolute certainty that I once had a neighbor who put a ginormous UGLY handmade sign in their front yard and it was awful. People actually stopped to gape at it and some even took pictures with their camera phones. Not of the house, just the sign which had a "portrait" of sorts on it. In retrospect did it do the job? Yes, but it also was an eyesore for everyone on the street On the other hand, I put a 12X12 For Rent sign in my rental property as we also have a ban on signs there, and was really surprised to have gotten 3 calls the very first day!
