> You don't get to tell me what I find beautiful

Right. That’s the point. In public spaces, the public has chosen what it believes to be beautiful. Illegal graffiti is one person forcing their aesthetics on everyone.

Plenty of cities have surfaces that are open to being grafitti’d. In those cases, the artists bothered to think about others before taking unilateral action.

Have you chosen what you think is beautiful for your city? Most city decorations are decided by direct action from the council without consultation from the public. Sometimes involving as little as one or two people.

For private property I agree with you, the owners have it how they want to have it.

My city pays graffiti artists to do their thing, but go off.

While I find this specific beautiful, retouched and over-saturated picture beautiful. I'm pretty sure it would look much better without the graffiti, trash and huge puddle in front of it.
