I think it makes the place look like a place where people are free and not oppressed, which is nice.


They are oppressed by their neighbors, who can scribble all over their home without consequences.

Have you had to clean off graffiti?


Why would I have to clean it off?


because you find it ugly? Because the city/HOA is asking? Because it's a political message you don't agree with (or don't want your house to get burned for it)?


So I have problems with the government but I blame graffitiers?


Because if graffitiers didn't degrade your property, you wouldn't have to clean after them?


As a renter, graffiti is great for me, it keeps property values down which keeps rent lower. And given that I don't aesthetically give a shit about it, it's win/neutral for me.
