i have to agree..

the adult in me sees the viewpoint of the property owner. it's HIS property, he owns it, if this is in his best interest financially (and that is why he retains the property after all) then the graffiti has to go. he obviously let it slide for quite some time.

the human being in me hates the fact that all that amazing work is gone. especially in a time where people get killed over throwing tags up, to see so many different throws right next to each other is like a symbol of unity among the artists

shitty but thats how it be sometimes.
