Dear Alice, Fall has finally arrived here! It was so hot last summer. How are you? Lately, I¡¯ve noticed more and more walls in my town covered with graffiti. Many of these pieces are incredible, adding vibrant colors and creativity to our area. I also read in the local newspaper that some graffiti artists have collaborated with local businesses. It¡¯s incredible how street art can transform a neighborhood. What are your thoughts on graffiti? Best, John
Dear John, It¡¯s spring here in Australia. I¡¯m doing well, thanks! As you mentioned, graffiti certainly has its artistic appeal. However, there are notable drawbacks. When done without permission, graffiti can damage property and lead to higher maintenance costs for property owners and city officials. Uncontrolled graffiti might also create a sense of disorder in neighborhoods, potentially deterring investment and impacting local businesses. Warm regards, Alice
