I don&#8217;t actually live in Ocean Beach anymore so I can&#8217;t say for sure, but I&#8217;ve been following the <a href=\"http:\/\/obrag.org\/?p=8533\" target=\"_blank\">graffiti debate over at the OB Rag<\/a> (more articles <a href=\"http:\/\/obrag.org\/?p=8012\">here<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/obrag.org\/?p=7968\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>).  Regardless, I have to say this graffiti I am showing below is a bit more tasteful and I think actually is good for neighborhoods, I think it adds positive character to communities.  Of course, vandalism is no good&#8230; If <a href=\"http:\/\/idealistcafe.com\/blog\/travel\/graffiti-granada-spain\/\">what I saw in Spain<\/a> was any indication, graffiti done properly can be definitely positive.  In fact, in the OB Rag article I referenced above, one of the suggestions for the graffiti problem was to get real artists in to create murals and the like.<\/p>\n<p>Btw, please don&#8217;t steal my photos.
