Sorry but you and taggers are just tedious.

If the health department cites a restaurant, or a critic writes a strongly critical review of it, you don’t get upset because they use the word “food” in detailing what was wrong with the restaurant.

Not art? What? How can everyone be so concerned with everything being so clean?! This is San Francisco. C’mon down to City Hall, make your mark. Bernal Heights most desired place to live? Eh uh, take a can and change it….The world of art can and will change everything…Tagging is an art, it gets more of a reaction, reflection, then any MOMA piece. It controls the elements of the urban landscape, real estate prices(the most desired market in SF).It says what is rich and what is poor, what is liked, disliked, and by whom. It says hello, it says risk, it says fear and I fear none. It is full on spontaneous expression…So cmon SF, hit it up…and if you dont like it…too bad, it is never going to stop….and it’s because it is illegal. VOTE ED LEE FOR THIRD TERM!

Almost all of BKF went to expensive private schools. Tagging meant something in the 70′s & 80′s in NYC. Now it takes no risk, and is done by a bunch of jackasses. Yes you ORFN.

Tagging = dog pissing on tree.

If they wanna bust taggers – look on flickr – they advertise there shitty work.
