Spray paint should be taxed high enough to pay the cleanup of all the ugly tags.

I like graffiti. Every city I visit without it feels soulless.

I also like nice graffiti but even those end up covered by a bunch of ugly and lazy tags. As for cities being soulless without it, I guess you never went to a city that is not a glorified parking lot.

Eh, I don't mind tasteful graffiti but when it's literally just a dozen tags with nothing artistic about it then that's pretty shit.

The tags themselves are artistic, it's

A) Modern calligraphy

And

B) A statement of existence, an "I was here," which is a super common basis for art.

There's an entire culture behind it too.
