It's a shame. Philly has such an impressive mural arts program but for an owner, there is little reason, outside of altruism (not prevalent in that particular community), to allow someone to throw up a mural.
Cover up blight? Maybe draw some attention to increase value?

If you've got a blank wall or want some positive public brownie points you might. It's not too far off from why do people spend on high quality construction materials? Aesthetics. They get most of the rights, none of the costs and just need to make sure they manage the asset in line with the agreement. They didn't stick to what they were supposed to do and people got mad. It's understandable.
Agreed though, it does highlight the worst case scenario of what can happen if you screw up and I can see if pushing some not wanting to bother with the mural arts program program.
