"Vandalism and Gunfire: The Impact of Graffiti on L.A. Skyscrapers"

More than a dozen people broke into the Oceanwide Plaza skyscraper development in Los Angeles, covering the unfinished buildings with graffiti, drawing attention to the abandoned property across from the venue where the Grammy Awards will be hosted. The buildings, which have been unoccupied since 2019, were intended to be the tallest residential towers in the city but the project was halted in 2019 after the developer ran out of money. The graffiti incident has highlighted the frustration of residents and the unfinished state of the buildings, prompting calls for action from city officials.
