However, the city and its citizens need to be careful that they are not setting a precedence by allowing Steve's art to become the legal defense for a tagger or graffiti artist who now realizes that the City of Oceanside may condone individuals displaying their own interpretation of art on city maintained/owned trees, buildings, signage, etc. The City must take action, and at minimum, determine how Steve's art fits into the (official)grand scheme of things. To do anything less would be to set the taxpayers of Oceanside up for costly lawsuits. Inconsistency is the basis of all discrimination complaints. Thats all it takes. Art is in the eye of the beholder, especially now with all the frivolous chasing, bottom feeding lawyers we have in society today.
