Some graffitis removed, some other still there. How to establish a hierarchy of what should be removed? Is it the cost to remove big graffitis? the possibly-offensive content?

It gives an intriguing flavor of selectivity anyway. Stains are always curious as they are traces of activities and decisions taken by people.

    Maybe it’s not removal at all. It could be the phantom Pantone swatch graffiti artist.

    There’s a lot of that in France of course. Can’t quantify it though.
