It is... Bcz there are thousands of homeless in a corrupt LA., yet vacant apartment blocks (tax evasion) and vacant foreign owner skyscrapers (washing money via negative gearing assets). They company isn't filling those skyscrapers or apartment blocks any time soon, and the graffiti artists are probably doing it as a political statement .. Yet y'all missed the subtext bcz you know graffiti is bad. But so is wealth hoarding when people are living and dying on the streets of LA with councils and govt not doing a goshdarn thing because politicians (or anyone who ever studied real finance/accounting and tax law) know the loop holes, use them and thus will never change the laws to stop people from benefiting from giant empty buildings when people are fighting for a warm piece of the sidewalk and healthcare.
Pay attention to the youth. They are without accountability & guidance. Completely careless. The 2 females justifying this lets me know that the future is not looking good for humanity. She claims to do art and it doesn't bother her. Shes probably one of the ones doing it or is has people she knows who are a part of it. Theres nothing artsy about tagging your name.
Hey KTLA 5. Every time you show the tags on tv the taggers win. Don't you get it yet? They're expecting you to show their tags to the whole world on TV and online. KTLA is helping.
I dont care about people tagging on abandoned buildings. Stop some real crime. Only the rich people complain about this BS. I'm more worried about real crimes.
Is the graffiti’s still on the buildings in DTLA? I thought the city said they planned to clean it up if the owner didn’t meet their past deadline. More lies from the city?
Yep, and I'm sure these units are going to cost like at least $3000 a month. I used to live in a 6 floor wooden frame apartment and you pretty much hear everything!!! People slamming doors, neighbor blasting the radio or TV, neighbor above walking like bigfoot, etc.!
Just letting the City know where all the potential affordable housing is. Any abandoned building, especially a high rise should be confiscated and utilized. Why leave it empty until they tear it down in a few decades. You can't half build a car and leave it on the road for years. Not even weeks in most places.
So what was this abandoned building supposed to be? All this tells me is that there are a bunch of empty building that could be used to solve our housing crisis.
This isn't an abandoned building. It's an unfinished building and is a worksite hence the machinery still being on site. People tag it up when the workers aren't there
Enforce the law: Vandalism is punished based on the value of the property. If convicted on the Felony form of Vandalism, up to three years in a state prison, a fine of up to $50,000, or both prison and a fine.
Tired of vacant buildings. People just letting them built equity instead of them creating work and businesses for communities. How about we talk about that. There’s a street full of empty buildings on Laurel Canyon by Victory.
Vandals, not taggers , but maybe you were trying to spell something else with that last word? Would have been more accurate. Whom would actually build anything in this neighborhood?
It is getting worse,...last summer graffiti was showing up on sidewalks, & on streets. We were especially upset to see spray paint on trees, and boulders, in some of the lesser parks.
Its vandalism but on plywood in frame stage that will be covered up so this is ia nothing burger of a story. The take away is that it shows the quality of life in a greater sense evolving or devolving
The problem is our convicted counsel members, that are going to the joint financed this crap. I saw police posted up around these buildings. Perhaps folks should keep their children home.
I found it humorous that when the reporter talked about possible injuries, they were displaying an ad from Jacoby and Meyers, injury attorneys. Maybe that law firm hands out paint cans in hopes of getting new clients who fall from these unsecured and obviously unsafe buildings.
The problem is you have chemicals all over the plywood now. Oil based paint, vinyl, acrylic, etc. It needs to be replaced. They have to install drywall over that plywood. The paint and chemicals are unknown. There could be lead in the paint or etc. Eventually families will live there. This is not an abandoned building. The investors have to pay 50k to replace this now.
If you not doing anything with it then stop complaining might as well let them some actually look cool unlike the buildings you've designed no gang tags no problems
@@leonardogranic-flores1860no amount of money will fix drug addiction and alcohol abuse. There’s plenty help for them and refuse to live under curfews and rules
The media loves to use the word "vacant" building instead of the politically correct term "poor investments made by wealthy foreign nationals that planned on using public funding, tax subsidies, money laundering, charge overpriced rent, enforce the bare minimal housing requirements that are prison requirement, and sit on until they can get a healthy return to do 1031 tax deferred exchange to never pay taxes and expect the public to protect - all tax free"
Lmao there’s another tagged building on 8th and Hoover This is the new thing to do I guess 🤦🏽♀️ if only parents knew how to educate and raise positive adults 💔
Well if they would finish construction and not leave it so easily accessible then we wouldnt have this problem. Also shouldnt we be focused on the homelss crisis and not on this. America got they priorities backwards
Miss the political statement all together.. What about the vacant buildings and foreign owned vacant towers. Umm. Eventually the people will protest.. Yall paying attention, but to the wrong part of this story. Rip to all the homeless people
Sentence should be judge manatory in-deterninate community service, in-determinate nominal hours community service, until all there supposed artistry is removed. If it takes entire spring/summer 2024 within hot sun, guiidlines met within 2, 10-min breaks, un-paid, no hours deducted, 30-minute lunch break.

Fall/winter season fully within judge discretion, rain gear provided example. If smart, alsi timing on there side since it's officially sping season, complete this prior to fall season. Winter season with judge rain gear providence, wont be fun times.
people who don't face consequences are unphased? say it aint so! I am shocked
Some buildings in Los Angeles got spray painted, what a newsworthy suprise
Right? Whoop di do

Those 2 gals are so cringe & the first to scream victim if their property is vandalized. 100% 🤮🤮
Cuzz they aren’t clutching pearls?😂
@@TheWatcher818 cuz they're hypocrites. They'd be pissed if their property was disrespected & expect justice but this is acceptable. Nasty.
People that call things cringe are cringe. 🤡
Trash
Calm down Karen

tough man. whine about it. this building just gonna become another normal building. graffiti lives

Get over it…. Nobody cares about some wood panels that will get covered up during construction anyways
what im saing
I dont care about people tagging on abandoned buildings. Stop some real crime. Only the rich people complain about this BS. I'm more worried about real crimes.
More color to it❤🎨.
Well done Graffiti Artist!!!
Fresh L.A.
Those taggers vote for Biden for sure
They don’t vote trust
La should build designed walls for the artist throughout the city.
@cardellstewart5588 🤓
Hey Genius. Your only promoting the buildings for taggers to go visit
Its vandalism, Not art
👍👍👍
agreed
🤓
The downfall of Western society.
Racist nerd 🤓
I much rather see that than gang graffity. Taggers find abandoned locations. Gang members tag anything, even if is not abandoned
Is the graffiti’s still on the buildings in DTLA? I thought the city said they planned to clean it up if the owner didn’t meet their past deadline. More lies from the city?
Yes
Tagging is still there. Drove by there 10 minutes ago 😂
Focus on the homeless crisis
Ain’t no homeless crisis, it’s just a bunch of Drug addicts
Taggers are a big problem as well.
They already have help out there, no amount of money will fix the homeless “crisis”. They refuse to follow curfews and rules to get the help.
Lost cause
@@taxfree4603 not as big as biden voters are to the country
4 floors made from 2x4 plywood wtf. This is cheap flimsy construction.

@Alextheone4uwhat an offer 😃😃
What a great life achievement: tagger. It's all downhill after that.

That is what I was saying. The taggers advertised the affordable housing . They found it but City Hall can't connect the dots or don't want to
💀💀😭😭😭yall are making this news!?!?!
Welcome to Gavin Newsomes world. The new California. Zero consequences
🤓
Oh how foolish ppl are lol dont complain when you start paying higher taxes for all the clean up
Fits right in with the flaming landfill that LA, and pretty much CA has become 😂😅
Lol, city should fix homelessness and corruption instead of worrying about "fangerous"... paint? lol!
So what was this abandoned building supposed to be? All this tells me is that there are a bunch of empty building that could be used to solve our housing crisis.

You wont even see that in 3 days lol

“Armed with spray paint” interesting verbiage
Armed with spray paint 😅

The news be snitchin😅
Girl: I dont mind it, I actually like it.
*girls car gets graffitied*
Girl: YO WTF! These people need to be stopped.
The problem is our convicted counsel members, that are going to the joint financed this crap. I saw police posted up around these buildings. Perhaps folks should keep their children home.
“armed with spray paint” 🤣
And the media keeps promoting the tagging efforts with exposure.
Ohh, warning signs? How scary.
Whether you like it or not its been around since the beginning of time its a fringe sub culture that will be here forever
Fr lames in the comments acting like they never seen graffiti before

Theres no lead in the paint man
@@1fault Ur missed my point. u cant prime & paint over graffiti & rent it out under code. Jerk.
Just part of LA culture 😂
Just about every abandoned town or a desert point of intrest in the S/W has been tagged.
Thanks to these guys they keep my rent low.
It's under the stucco!
The chemical in the paint may hinder sealing n binding to materials.
I will keep writing on buildings
And no one can figure it 0ut. 😒
These taggers are being paid by someone to tag those buildings.
George Soros
By who lololol you’re so clueless it’s bizarre lol
Don't like graffiti, don't come to Los Angeles 🎉
CAUGHT IN THE ACT/AIR.
Dang East Hollywood is on the news daily
If you not doing anything with it then stop complaining might as well let them some actually look cool unlike the buildings you've designed no gang tags no problems
or use that money to fix the drug and homeless problem lol
Tagging doesn't look cool. Grow up

That's not art
so why are they crying ? this is gonna get covered up with stucco later, if anything taggers are wasting their material just to get covered buffed
It's so warm and loving, part of LA culture.
At least they could do a Banksy. Why not a mural?
murals are for the sellouts, graffiti artists stay raw
they are literally primering the wood instead of just untreated plywood, lol.
For liability, the owners have to replace the plywood now. You can't have unkown paint/chemicals all over your project where families will soon live.
@@kendalgee5808 unknown? It's Krylon, lol
Those women say they like it as long as it’s not on their building what losers

Well !!!!!what are we waiting my grandpa might say !!!!! 3:09 🔴🫢🤫
That’s evident

Very inconsiderate comments by those two women.
no time for crime.. thugs having fun at business owners expense.. no worries, it's LA..cite and release capital
They should graffiti their own houses but bet they won’t
Well if they would finish construction and not leave it so easily accessible then we wouldnt have this problem. Also shouldnt we be focused on the homelss crisis and not on this. America got they priorities backwards
harsher laws and hold parents liable for minors. boom no more crime.
Their tags look like crap. Atleast do something nice
graffiti its allright with me just as long as these individuals dont vandelize homes and buisneses.
the next keith haring ya'll, we just don't realize it yet. lol
Great Art
Miss the political statement all together..
What about the vacant buildings and foreign owned vacant towers.

Nice ears.
A zoomer kid exploring a construction site is way more healthy than doom scrolling the phone for hours at a time. That's some real "danger".
At least they not squatters
Rather do graffiti then get jobs. Annoying.
Why is this bearly making the news haave u seen dtla and hollywood lmao
