Let's hope one of them doesn't live next door to you! You might regret that comment! Over thirty years ago our small town community came together, and organised with the local council to build a graffiti wall in addition with the skate park. It worked well! To be honest that's why we pushed for it. There's nothing worse than seeing tags on the front of shops and private property. I wonder if the local councils got together and built a wall of mazes, specifically for graffiti artists and taggers. Start up a competitions for best art work! ETC. Just a thought! 😊
