People wouldn’t mind graffiti if the space was paid for like advertisers do. What people don’t like is people altering either public or private property unilaterally.
- underlipton 10mo agoIs it unilateral? Aren't there unwritten (or maybe even written) rules about who gets to tag where, how long it gets to stay up, etc.? You don't hear much about territory beefs these days, so I would think that some sort of agreement or code of conduct reigns in most areas, in order to prevent conflict.
- mmooss 10mo agoI meant to address that when I wrote about property rights: Only the wealthy can afford what you describe; that system effectively restricts such expression to them. Also, if I pay you to advertise on your building, that's only two of us deciding: from the public's point of view, it's no better than unilateral. (Or you could put your own advertisement, such as your business name, on your building.)
