How come there was so much graffiti in this area? In my city, they make the business owners paint over it. I really liked this video. This had a lot of amazing art.
a city can't force a private property to paint anything they might send you a letter encouraging you too and most businesses comply but nothing states in the law saying you have to have a building painted in a certain way
A lot of the local businesses around mission Street are closed down, and a bunch of these buildings are currently empty. Why would an owner waste money painting over a building where they don't collect any rent?
It's shame that graffiti in the US has never evolved....everything looks stuck in the 80s & 90s. Meanwhile in Europe, graffiti is much more advanced and taken to another level.
