<p>I'm concerned about the legal walls. I think it is a great initiative to allow graffiti writers to express themselves and have a medium. But I'm wondering why graffiti writers who have clearly bombed Ottawa are allowed by the graf community to put peices up on Tech Wall and House of PainT. If anything, the graf community should be trying their best to present a clean image...and should censor bombers from the legal walls. If they already are choosing to use tons of illegal walls...why allow them to paint on the few legal walls that more legitimize graf writers want to use. If anything the City of Ottawa and Ottawa Police are going to be watching the legal walls....and if they see graf writers that pursue illegal activities putting peice up on the legal wall regularily....without the local legal community policing their own wall...then why allow the legal walls? They'll just end up being one more surface where bullies like vandal bomber hit without any concerns for other writers in their rush to get UP....and if they don't have any respect for the attempt of the city to reach out...the graf community will end up getting no respect.</p>
