Private property

The president of Hayward and Warwick wrote a letter to the editor expressing disappointment about graffiti at the rear of his building (the owners painted over a picture of a girl with balloons, and apparently someone with a spray can came back and tagged the wall). 

While I liked balloon girl, I respect the right of a building owner maintain the exterior of his building the way he finds fit. 

I still find graffiti interesting but wanted to balance this interest with a respect for property owners. 

It would be great if artists could work with interested property owners to create interesting aesthetics – that way owners wouldn’t have to paint over unwanted work.
