One little known fact- the city will reimburse you for paint and labor up to $200 if your building gets tagged. The $200 barely covers your paint costs if it's a large tag, but it's better than nothing.

I tried commissioning an artist to paint a mural on our large retaining wall in the hopes taggers would "respect the art" and not tag over it, but it got repeatedly hit again and again even over the artwork.

Subscription required to read.
Really? That's weird, it comes through for me and I don't think I have a subcription. Did you know you can google the title and if you click the top link it works (for all paywall sites). It's some agreement they have with google in order to for google to archive people have to get 3 clicks per day, fyi.
Clicking on the "web" link for a given post does exactly this. In 20+ attempts (including this article), it has always worked for me.

Even though I have a subscription to sfchronicle.com, this way is generally easier than logging in.
