The City of Houston made a web-site to combat graffiti.
One of their recommendations is to create a mural over the graffiti. I like the idea, but isn’t that about the same as allowing legalized graffiti ART? Anyway, like I said, I like the idea.
This is from the FAQ’s page:
- There are four types of graffiti – tagging, satanic/hate, gang, and generic (non-threatening messages like “Bobby loves Suzy” or “Class of 2000″). Houston mainly deals with gang and tagging graffiti. Tagging graffiti is more ornate while gang graffiti uses symbols.
Where does Graffiti ART reside? In the generic with “Bobby loves Suzy”?
The website says, “Graffiti is ugly“. Bland statements like that show either bias or ignorance.
I’ll let you judge for yourself.
