If I owned a home next door to that crap, I'd be pissed. When you go shopping for a home, the first thing you look at are the houses next door. shyt like that makes the property you came to see an automatic NO.
fukk all that "he should be able to do with it whatever he wants" shyt. DON'T fukk WITH MY MONEY DAWGS!

Separate from the value dropping, its an inconsiderate thing to do when you live in a true 'neighborhood'.
Having bought and sold two houses, the shyt that goes on in the division you live in is talked about and judged by everyone.
shyt, I remember someone cut down a plot of trees on their side yard because they wanted more space.....it was on 'their' property too so their decision.....but fukk if I didn't think it looked like shyt and made the bottom half of the street look barren as fukk. The neighbors next to him were pissed because now they had sun exposure they didn't want on their backyard.
All sorts of drama got started.
Now, I try imagine someone doing THAT shyt to their house on my street? I'd be pissed too.
That's not true at all. People sell homes there for less than market value all the time because the market is not as strong as it has been.

Many people simply don't understand that there are appearnace rules regulations and guideliness that come with owning a home/condo/townhome ect. I would feel some type of way if my next door neighbor decided to paint his home with neon pink and green stripes outlined with polkadots. I wouldn't wana see that shyt everyday.
There are certain codes and rules that have to be followed when you own a home. Little shyt like, you can't store old and inoperable vehicles in your front yard, you can't have trash or junk just chillin in your driveway, you can even get cited or fined for havin a boarded up window, you have to get any broken glass fixed.
So when people say shyt like "he should be able to do whatever he wants" NO, when u live around others, u have to be considerate. When people are payin a big azz mortgage every month , you ain't tryna see loud azz graffitti on the walls in a nice neighborhood. I wouldn't

regardless of whether this is truly an "artistic expression" or just another example of him looking to piss people off, it's violates the code of the local municipality. when you purchase property within a certain municipality you are subject to their rules whether you agree with how rules are written or not. the rules were there before he moved in and they'll still be there when he caves and paints over it because that is clearly the way majority of the neighborhood prefers their neighborhood to appear. if he was really a crusader for freedom of artistic expression he'd be attending local board meetings and making a stand to change the code instead of making this another tmz spectacle though.
Ever heard the saying ones man trash is another mans treasure?
My point is that its an inconsiderate thing to do. He can still do it if it's not breaking no zoning/Housing laws at his discretion....but it's basically a big fukk you to his neighbors, so how the fukk do you expect them to act?
A few towns over from me theirs some lady who fills her entire yards with painted law gnome thingy's, I'm talking fukking THOUSANDS of them.
She's been in the paper with neighbors trying to sue her in small claims court over the way that shyt looks and how they cant sell their house cuz no one wants to live next to the gnome lady.

Like I said. He lives in a HOA regulated community. So there are guidelines on the outer appearance of the homes in that neighborhood.
Has nothing to do with "selfish entitlement" as you mentioned.
I'd be damn If I can paint my whole house like the Louis Vuitton logo (dumb nikka shyt) and get away with it. HOA would be ridin my ass all day and take me the court.
I agree it's inconsiderate. But I don't think it will affect property values as much as people are saying it will. And I'm sure his neighbors aren't very "considerate" of his wishes either(as most neighbors aren't).
If its not against zoning laws, he's done no wrong. And it's my personal opinion that zoning laws in these ritzy neighborhoods, are too restrictive and a way to keep "undesirables" out, as opposed to protecting property values.
Until Section 8 moves in and drags the entire neighborhood down. I'll keep my HOA.
If his grafitti is against the HOA rules/regulations, then obviously he is in the wrong. If not then be should be able to pint his house however he wants to.
And yes most HOA rules are direct results of "selfish entitlement"
That would be relevant if the "art" was relevant to the neighborhood.
At the end of the day certain neighborhoods attract certain buyers. Period.
This graffiti would be negligible (and might even appreciate) to property value if he lived in an artsy or trendy neighborhood. Like soho/williamsburg in NY for example. Because the type of people that look to buy in that area ARE THE TYPE THAT LIKE ART/GRAFFITI.
This seems like a neighborhood where you got upper class golden retriever and kids that go to private school types.
Hence, if someone comes to buy, they see graffiti, they go
= LESS DEMAND.Less demand = less value.
You people are just arguing just to argue. This is business. A business where supply and demand dictates price. In a front lawn birds chirping neighborhood, those people and the potential buyers do not like graffiti, its that simple.
If you owned property on that block, would YOU like it if somebody shaved a healthy $50,000 off the appraisal of your house just cause they want to put this tacky stuff on they garage doors? Its really that simple.

Chris brown lives there and he likes graffiti. Obviously there is a market for people who like graffiti in that area. It attracts a different type of person than the other homeowners want around so they don't like it.
It's selfish entitlement like I said. These people inherited their sense of entitlement and HOA laws are created with the sole intention of keeping the status quo.
not if you live far enough in the boonies like I do
So youre suggesting there is a market for the type who likes edgy property, in HOLLYWOOD HILLS
Yea, because theres graffiti murals, and rustic architecture around the block and at the corner all over HOLLYWOOD ****in HILLS
No Betty Boop in Hollywood Hills theres a market for those who are wealthy and like mansions.
Im not even going to bother anymore
