art there but it was a vacant place. a lot of those places that are blight should be used for housing we know there are a lot of empty guess so in the city that could be a habitat for humanity so when you see the graffiti blight it's time to look at the positive aspect. remember in this city racism and him or her full board of supervisors and crack cocaine on treasure island it's going on and we must come together as one or we'll perish as fools the king said that. it's not nice looking at what are people saying and you should be able to make that a job for them we make everything a job for people working in d.c. and
