LOCATION - 39 Phillip St, Newtown
A boy died in a tunnel in the western suburbs of Sydney doing graffiti recently . He was hit by a suburban train. This only highlights the lunacy that surrounds the council bylaws that prohibit the youth doing graffiti in safe places. Further pushing them to ply their craft in dangerous places. They do this so their artwork stays and isn't taken down the next day.
This highlights that there will always been huge chasms between conformist ideas and those ideas that of others who vary vastly. At my age I can only see more heartache arising as more lives are lost needlessly because older people on councils cannot understand that there will always be something about youth that they just don't like and legislating against it ludicrous.
