I think this might be the same person who did this last time, it’s very close to where I saw the last one. Which the city dealt with in a matter of days from when I saw it, so maybe this particular canvas of street art will also get cleaned/painted over.
(I’m not against street art - I’m rather fond of some of the prettier examples of it as an art form, and tagging is an interesting form of self expression - I just said that in that I’m curious how long it will take the city to do something about this tag, since the previous one I found on City property also caused it and nearby graffiti to be quickly cleaned when previously ignored, and graffiti on a trash receptacle is the ultimate “not worth cleaning”.)

I love what my city did in a rough part of town that was being completely taken over by this type of ugly street tags.
On a big wall that was constantly attacked they hired an artist to create a huge mural, it’s absolutely beautiful and it represents the community that lives there.
It’s been there for like 15 years and it’s intact. No one touched it, no one vandalized it.
I like this solution. See, street art is absolutely a form of art and can be quite interesting, it’s just that the “collaborative” nature of “tagging” leads to rather discordant and cacophonous results.

My city did that in a tunnel on a walking path last year and unfortunately it got tagged over very quickly, made me sad
One I live near put a bunch of vines on the wall to prevent painting it’s a pretty elegant solution
