The history of graffiti is cool, as well as how it started off by getting your name out and then it turned into art on gallery walls but i feel you dont have to shove your feelings on everyone through the drawings if someone is into that they can go to a gallery but people shouldnt be forced to see things they dont want to see.
You have to ask yourself why it makes the value of neighborhoods go down. Most people are doing it at crazy hours at night and what kind of people are they. I know that sounds steriotypical but would you feel safe with your kids walking around at night in that kind of area
I think im missing the point of the article maybe ill get it after tonights class

I hope the class talk helped...but yes, I see your point--graffiti does make a neighborhood feel dangerous and as I stated in the article, it is is a type of cursing on walls. Not something many of us want our kids to see. But this resistance and our visual terrorism may be what some graf writers want us to feel-nervous and uncomfortable....
