  10. Criticisms “These changes to City streets are illegal, potentially unsafe and adding to the City's costs of maintenance and repair. The City can consider this as vandalism, with the potential for serious health and safety consequences for citizens, particularly pedestrians. There is potential liability and risk management claims to both the City and the individuals involved.” - Gerry Davis, City of Haltom General Manager of Public Works “Yarn bombing exemplifies the ‘do it for the photo’ method of street art. There’s a disingenuousness. … It’s bright and colorful for a day, then it looks gross and someone else has to clean it up.” - http://blog.vandalog.com/2012/11/yarn-bombing-you-cant-sit-with-us/ “DIY urbanism is more common in newly-hip or gentrifying neighbourhoods, than in resource poor inner city areas… like traditional urban design could ultimately contribute to uneven growth, development and cultural and demographic displacement.” - Gordon Douglas, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTb-C-1Qb48
