NBC - The drive from Long Beach to downtown Los Angeles isn't quick, but Ronald Velasquez and his mother decided it was worth braving weekday traffic to see the unfinished high-rises covered in graffiti that has garnered international attention in recent weeks. "It's cool and bad at the same time," Velasquez said. "It doesn't make police look good — they haven't been able to stop it." Reporter Alicia Victoria Lozano spoke to others in downtown L.A. who also seemed divided over whether to consider the graffiti art or an eyesore. Meanwhile, authorities and city officials are struggling to keep away more taggers and BASE-jumping thrill-seekers.
