When I was out for a walk earlier this week on a path that overlooked warehouses, I couldn’t help but notice the increased graffiti or tagging in the area.
Many find tagging or graffiti is a way to express themselves or as a method to mark their territory. But it comes as an expense to others’ property. A 2007 Edmonton Journal article examines the opinions of street art. But for myself, graffiti is what it is – taking advantage of a blank wall without permission and spray painting it with terrible markings.
