Equating graffiti with "street art" overlooks the simple fact that most of it is totally devoid of anything like skill, talent, or imagination. In short, it's an act of vandalism with no redeeming value, artistic or otherwise. Call it an act of spray-paint rape committed against our public spaces.

If you're "BORED," get the word tatooed on your forehead -- and spare my park.

Still think, that a Plattform for inhabitants to express themselfes, visible to all other inhabitants is rare though precious institution. Tolerating streetart allows that woth no financial effort. Even, if you can't read, can't write, have no Internet etc. this is a form of communication open to you.

I'd still rather see poor artwork on walls than bland, beige, blank spaces of a concrete jungle. You know what bad art does? Make other artists want to put something better there. It's a process.
