I've seen designated graffiti areas in other cities (sydney, melbourne) that end up looking fantastic and adding to the environment. They even appear to be unsupervised areas where the artist are just expected to be respectful of the public space and other's work. It's unfortunate that an art form with so much potential also has the tendency to attract meat heads who have no indention of "creating" anything. They just want to scribble garbage all over the world without having anything to really say. Ugg so frustrating to see something like this go belly up.
