Signage Failure or Invitation?

I pass this building nearly every day on my way home from my studio. They have “No Graffiti” signs all the way around it, yet there is always graffiti, especially next to the signs, no matter how often the repaint and try to thwart it. While I’m not a graffiti person, and I actually think graffiti like this is a total asshole move, I always drive by these signs and see an invitation more than a deterrent. Without the signs they’d still have graffiti. Unfortunately it’s inevitable, but it’s almost as if they’re setting themselves up here. Short of a 24/7 guard with a 12 gauge, they’ve got a long term problem, unfortunately. Anyway, it makes for an ironic photo.
