27 Stories of Los Angeles Skyscraper Covered in Graffiti
Рет қаралды 192,756
6 ай бұрынIn a shocking sight, each balcony of a 27th-floor high-rise building is covered in graffiti. The building is part of a billion-dollar project in downtown Los Angeles that has sat unfinished since 2019. It was supposed to be 40 stories of fancy condos. Now, police officers are sitting outside the building hoping to keep taggers out. LAPD says it's working to secure the building and that the graffiti will be removed.

So, the issue is the graffiti, not the fact that the building has been sitting there unfinished for years... Huh, I applaud the artist for bringing awareness to this shell of a building.

I love that the outrage is over the graffiti, and not over the fact that there's a billion dollar luxury skyrise sitting unfinished for five years in the middle of a housing crisis and a homelessness epidemic.

Also my dad told me some people hire others to do that, so the price of it goes down. Not sure how true it is, but it is a possibility. They have been doing this in Bayside Florida, to an abandoned building, with multiple floors too, almost identical to how each level has graffiti on it.

This reminds me of a building in Seattle that was covered in graffiti the the owner of it allowed it because it was gonna get torn down at some point. So during that time it was free range for graffiti, and it was just covered in layers and layers of it, that it just made such a colorful collage that was gorgeous! And sometimes you get like gorgeous works on it like someone did a beautiful portrait of a woman that looked photo accurate.

Reminds me of the owner of a warehouse in NYC that he allowed to be covered with graffiti. When it came time to tear down the building, he was sued for destroying art, or whatever legal terminology they came up with. The guy had to spend money in court before he could demolish the derelict building and continue with the original plan. So much for trying to support struggling artists.
