For me it's not as much about what kind of graffiti it is, but rather where it is. I don't care much about stuff like back alleys, the sides or rear of commercial buildings, industrial sites, bridge under/over passes, culverts etc. But I don't want to see anything on or in transit vehicles, shelters or terminals, private houses, or the front of business. Well, unless the business proprietors don't seem to mind. A business in Kensington market or some place probably doesn't care much. But I don't care how beautiful or creative a mural it is, if it's on the side of a subway, bus or commuter train I am pissed. I also don't care to see it on public infrastructure like street signs, post boxes, and electrical substations but that's less an issue than the first category.
