(552 posts)You are correct, obviously. No one can burn down a skate park. I was directing my comments at the larger problem in general. It's not only skate parks that this happens. People do this to homes and businesses as well. It gets so bad ( in my experiences) that people in the area just give up and go into a depression of sorts and the neighborhood just goes downhill. The disrespect for property continues to increase until areas that were once considered nice become what people call blight. In my opinion, it's just not fair to all of the people that don't like this stuff. If people want a graffiti park, fine. But why don't they pool money together and purchase a building they can do whatever they would like with? Why do others have to have this stuff on areas that they either paid for through taxes or places that are personal property? I only get worked up about this because I've seen it as part of urban decay in my own city.
