Occasionally the freeway gets it but its pretty unusual for anything nice or an open for business to be hit up. If you dont like it ignore it.
What's wrong with it? Do people want to buy a house that's tagged with graffiti? Do people want to live next to vandalism? Do people want to live in a neighborhood covered with vandalism?

No. Vandalism is simply a sign of crime and decay, and people don't want to live near it.

If they want to tag up a house, then they can buy that house and tag it up.

Vandalism is part of the problem in Detroit, not some kind of artistic solution.
