Gentrification

«What you find with most street art is that the artists are putting up their art in buildings that need repair. Gentrification affects street art a lot because an artist isn’t motivated to destroy a beautiful building just to put up artwork. The artist is motivated to take a factory that is being run down and put their art up there for people to see it. (...) And those are the buildings that are older and need a little bit of life added to them.»
