Spacing Wire reader Mark Liechti sent along this image: graffiti on a building, really high up. That’s not what is impressive — rather, he hasn’t seen graffiti on a new development so soon. I agree. Usually, it takes a few weeks after an unveiling for the first tag to go up. Combined with the height and placement, this could up the ante for other taggers, so to speak.

Why is this good?
Not saying it is either way. Just interesting.
I feel bad for the contractors. how will they clean that up? who will get fired for leaving the construction site open or unlocked?
Yeah but you call it “impressive” — rather, you discuss what’s most impressive about it — and you do end up sounding like you think its kind of cool.
It is interesting. It’s impressive too — which doesn’t always mean to convey support, but I suppose impressive gets used more in a positive way. “The war was impressive”….I don’t know. Terrible, impressive words.
^^That’s the thing, some worker, probably the lowest guy on the pole, is going to have to deal with this impressive tag and remove it. I wonder if the bombers saw the faces of the people who have to deal with their mess, and see that it isn’t some fat cat at the top of a development corportation (or whatever rudimentary level of class analysis they use to justify their vandalism) but it’s a guy who has to do a job, and suddenly his job is harder, and maybe he’s going to get in trouble for leaving the gate open — if they would still bomb like this. Meh, probably.
