"Whether this is art or not, no one has the right to put it on someone else’s property,” he said. "Graffiti adds to the deterioration of a neighborhood. It’s urban blight. … If anyone gets seen defacing someone else’s property, we will come down here and we will prosecute.”
It made me think of my recent trip to Milan, where the one thing I could not help but notice is that graffiti is everywhere (literally) and it makes the city look like shit. I commented about this to someone else at the conference and he said he was struck by same thing so I know I am not alone in this observation.
String ‘em up by their buster browns is what I say (and if you get that obscure movie reference I will send you a book or something).
