Legalizing Graffiti: VC2

The DC government spent nearly $800,000 removing graffiti in 2007, but this year there's $100,000 in the city budget to HELP graffiti artists produce murals - legally.
The city is embracing some young DC artists in hopes of curbing illegal graffiti-- but do graffiti artists want to be part of the establishment?

I consider graffiti as art, tagging is just stupid and obnoxious.

Art, is ok if its allowed in specific areas. However, legalizing someone being allowed to spray paint someone else's property is absolutely ridiculous.

Theres a flood wall along the Mississippi River in St. Louis where they let artists spray grafitti and it's amazing. It's like a mile or two of the best grafitti ive ever seen.
