Dude, graffiti like in the original picture takes days. There’s no way they could have done it without the owners’ permission. It was repainted because the block is being sold and the real estate agents thought it looked better beige. An anonymous tagger disagreed. The artists weren’t even informed that it was being painted over. It was just… Gone. Maybe they had the rule of law on their side, but the people who ordered the repainting are most definitely arseholes, too.
The funny thing is the Real Estate were only leasing the property, not selling it.
people who spray gaffiti on other peoples property are arseholes and criminals, no matter how beautiful it looks.
