| | | I think graffiti, if done well, is great. It gives the eye something pleasing to look at. I think if more cities started a program to commission street art, that'd be a great thing. However, tagging doesn't float my boat, especially in this case. Those folks did that for one reason only, it'd make news. Destroying something that's been there a while, that no one else felt the need to tag, is egomaniacal. I agree with Ed, a caning is in order. As far as tagging and graffiti in abandonments, I hate it. I like my locations destroyed by time and nature, not some stupid asshole with a can of spray paint who, oftentimes, can think of nothing better to do than paint a dick or call someone a fa**ot. However, I know my not liking it isn't going to change it.

| | | Basically, if the structure serves no cosmetic purpose, I consider it fair game. So the walls under a bridge (as long as it's not an overpass), retaining walls, anything abandoned that even we would consider an eyesore, etc. If it's an active location, something privately owned, or a prominent place that's seen constantly during the day, I don't care how much talent was involved; that's still just vandalism. Tagging is kind of neat in a sense, too, actually. It's ugly and annoying, but it's interesting when you get to know people's tag names and start to notice them more and more. It's kind of fun to see where these people have been, even if you wish they never were there to begin with.
