Ironic that you help make my point. The municipality you imagine still wouldn't grant you the permit or variance that you believe you can argue them into issuing.@jhealy55
"If the lean-to or graffiti wouldn't get any attention if it wasn't on the side of the Empire State Building there's your answer."
The only relevant graffiti reference here is a long wall designated by the municipality, where I pick up where you left off with your graffiti.
You can blame it on the old boys club or "the man" but its simply a shortcut to thinking it through.
Because the municipality only cares about the tax base. Everything else is a secondary concern.
It only wrote the rule because they got tired of picking up the bodies of dead taggers every morning or saw that it was starting to lose contributors to a different community. The makeup of the population is a reflection of the organizing principles of the community.
If there isn't any existing constituency for bending the rule and a reasonable expectation that doing so would put a dent in how effective it would be to retaining and attracting new contributors, there's no incentive to change it.
