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".)

It's a subculture that presents itself as just ugly writing on infrastructure. There is no world where it's anything other than that. And it's anti-social.
"Subcultures" are not inherently virtuous. There are Nazi subcultures too.
Is it? From the perspective of the graffiti community it's pro-social in a space where the architecture and environment they're reclaiming is anti-social.
If you polled the population of a city what percentage would say tagging is a net positive?
There is nothing virtuous about bourgeois infrastructure. Let it be tagged.
Is all infrastructure "bourgeois infrastructure"? Parks are "bourgeoisie"? Spray painting stuff with black lines isn't revolutionary.
graffiti isn't anti-social but it sure seems like you are
why are you such a curmudgeon you sound like abe simpson
At least Abe Simpson is funny when he yells at clouds.
