Alright this is good context, I didnt see the condition of the crosswalk from before all this was done. I still feel like there are better ways to create a memorial but in contrast to the shitty condition it was in yeah I can see how if anything the chalk was creating more visibility to that area. I still feel like a crosswalk is not the best place to put a memorial and I think thats the point i was trying to get at and where i thought the original comment in this chain had a decent point, like put it before the cross walk, further down the street on the side walk itself, the curbs, the walls near it make a billboard next to road. But yeah that crosswalk was in such a bad condition already this wasnt effecting much. I had seen some pictures else where in the thread were it looked like people were putting chalk over the white paint itself and that to me is such a bad idea when as you said in your other post you could at least put it in between the painted sections of the cross walk.
Of course, and no, I’m sorry, I feel like I got a bit aggressive at points trying to explain my viewpoint which probably made it seem like my intentions were to be apologetic to the administration. I completely see where you were coming from, I should have taken some of my own advice and looked into your sources more instead of jumping to conclusions. I feel like everyone is getting so tired from this administration that we are all at a short fuse and my coping is to try and look for something good or actionable in everything so I dont completely loose my sanity during it all. I truly hope we are all able to get past this shit administration as quickly as possible and look forward to a world where everyone can be accepted, respected and live with dignity without having to hide or be scared of who they are. Stay safe out in this crazy world.
oh, shit. I gave you a link to the article instead of an image of the actual chalk art. that’s my bad. this was the image i had intended to link before that shows the actual conditions of the crosschalk before they were described as unsafe, coinciding with a change in leadership.

that’s a fair opinion. thank you for hearing me out as far as you did, despite how hard I tend to make that for people…
