Why Is Graffiti Illegal?

There is a completely legal side of graffiti where people do commissions, rent canvas space, and so forth.
Most laws can be boiled down to:
1. Don't take stuff that isn't yours.
2. Don't put your stuff where it doesn't belong.

Just because you think it looks good does not mean everyone does. If the owner of the property wants a blank wall why should he have to deal with random jerk XYZ painting on it, regardless of how good it is.
The same applies to public property. Just because you think its beautiful doesn't mean the next guy will. Then we run into the whole separation of church and state. If some Graffiti "artist" decides to paint a cross on the side of the Town Hall there can potentially be a lot of fallout.

Gang-related graffiti is lame, but if it's actually art I'm fine with it.
Hell, if you just write your gang's name but make it look nice that's awesome with me. Personally, I don't care if it's illegal. At this point in time I don't do it, but I support the artists.

I like my house the color it is right now....
However, I do think cities should seriously invest in multiple graffiti walls. It's a FANTASTIC idea.

some places it is legal - for instance - slovenia. i went there last summer and there was graffiti everywhere. however. it was just... dumb. there were batmans everywhere. the only cool graffitti i saw was a chicken sandwhich (a baby chicken in between 2 buns)
This isn't rocket science. You can't mess with someone else's property. If I found it aesthetically pleasing I would HIRE someone to put graffiti style art on my store.
That being said the funniest graffiti I ever saw was on a transformer it was like a roasted chicken... with a penis for a head that said 'Dicken' under it. Really immature but it was so odd I had to laugh, much to the chagrin of my humorless partner.

A number of cities do invest in graffiti walls, however I don't like the idea of crap graffiti. Where people just tag and it looks horrible.
I prefer real aerosol art, paintings done by spray paint etc. They look kool and work best when the people who own the building say "we want someone to do this"

Ever sat at a train and watched a parade of fifty penises go by?
Again, it's a problem of a few tools ruining everything for everyone.

Because, well me personally, I do not like the look of some dicks name splashed on a fence with black paint, or some retard tagging initials onto trees and sidewalks. If all graffiti was like those really artistic types, then I would have no problem with it; but point is that roughly 90% is just garbage.
Tagging is stupid as hell and should be illegal. I just don't understand the point of it.
Beautiful graffiti is awesome to see, and I like to run into it. My personal favourite was on the side of a building. It was a wet paintbrush that had drawn a streak, it started at the curb, went across the sidewalk and up the wall.
