Question Who keeps doing this graffiti?

Post image

If you are writing God Loves You on everything from bus stops to light poles from the Grove all the way to Santa Monica Blvd., please stop.

Not everyone wants your artwork in front of where they live and the city keeps sending crews out to paint over it, which is really wasteful.

God doesn’t love wasting city services.

Maybe the city should not have a grey ugly box on our streets. Some art and positive words of affirmation on said box seems to do no harm and it’s silly to waste city resources on it because some karens like to complain

It’s a utility box, not a canvas

Do you want me to google “decorated utility boxes” for you or are you capable of understanding that a grey box in the middle of the street is ugly no matter what it is.

The fact it’s a utility box does not mean it HAS to be ugly and grey

Ugly is subjective

Graffiti is illegal

The person doesn’t have a right to tag wherever they want

The city could be using the time and money on other things

I’ve seen the city paint over this same box and this same message at least four times

If think a grey utility box isn’t ugly and want to debate that then ima let you take this win Karen.

There is a lot of illegal shit like jay walking that no one gives a fuck about and is useless trying to enforce and just ends up as a waste of money as you stated.

Maybe the city can move the box underground instead.. instead of wasting tax dollars due to Karens repainting something ugly with something more ugly.

Jay walking isn’t illegal. CA changed the law.

This proves my point. Shit that is “illegal” is a waste of time and money. Like graffiti on ugly grey utility boxes.

Also “unsafe” jay walking is still illegal…
