Graffiti can be beautiful, but it's a problem if it's on buildings that don't want it.

Where I live, stores are constantly fighting a battle against graffiti. They'll paint their walls, and people will graffiti them with ugly tags. People have graffitied over murals, which is just insane. One building had a huge piece of plywood on the wall as a spot where people could make street art. That worked for a few months until someone tagged the whole rest of the building too.

It's not like they're "fighting the man" or anything. These are all locally owned small businesses who are just trying to keep doing their thing.
