The SABER L.A. River piece has been forever placed into infamy, thanks to the broke State of California. With the State of California postponing the purchase of new textbooks for schools, a move that may “put students at a disadvantage“, one has to wonder where the money to buff this notorious piece of art came from. Now, I know how state and city budgets work, and if a department doesn’t bleed through all of the money they are alloted they won’t receive the same, or more during the next budget season. However, in dire times such such as the financial crisis California is suffering at the moment, don’t you think the money to clean graffiti off the side of the L.A. River should be redirected to necessary programs like EDUCATING out youth?
I could speculate that this piece was specifically targeted for the notoriety it has received throughout the graffiti subculture, but I won’t. I am sure L.A. simply ran out of paint for all the other graffiti surrounding the piece before they could paint it over too.
