The city itself is world-writable, and it's one of the things I love most about living here.

As a resident of the adjacent Garden Court Building, whose only source of daylight will be blocked by the new JFS office building, I'm glad to see some resistance! Before this modification someone had drawn in other floor plan details like "Suzie's room" and "half bath," but this one wins, hands down.

The only thing that's constant is change.

The pit vipers aren't actually a bad idea!

Anyone else see the defaced condo sale signs that were around for a day or two? They were modified to say "whites only" and "no cripples" and other such things. Pretty obnoxious. Pretty funny. Gone in hours. I wish I had taken a photo.

"hand use action?" that's an unfortunate euphemism...um...yeah..engagement wasn't the first place my mind went

Kudos to the artist for his second unsolicited mention on Slog. (Note the Haloed Buffalo to the left of the parody floor plan, whose twin hangs above Dominic Holden's desk.)

Update to anyone who is still reading this thread: Just walked past the sign and the shark-infested moat etc comments have been painted over. I'm actually impressed that the city government acted so quickly on something without having endless debates, forums, public comment periods and possibly a citywide referendum on the November 2010 ballot.

Yes! More land-use-proposal-based hilarity, graffiti artists!
