I confess to thinking the permanent structures v. temporary speech distinction better.  I think a very reasonable claim can be made that   a) a permanent structure is likely to be misperceived as a state message, regardless of surroundings.   b) public fora are subject to time, place and manner restrictions.  One legitimate restriction is that one cannot permanently occupy scarce space.   Mark A.
