Nice mural. A message to the City Council: concentrate on cleaning up the streets instead, fix the pot holes, and make the streets safer for the residents. It that wall is clear, graffiti will replace the mural. Real facts!

When I first see it it reminds me my son is a Xennial and I am a baby boomer, and it reminds me of his youth, something about this mural reminds me of kids that grew up not just in Los Angeles, Ca, but I'n southern California in the 1990s it like part of what the Xennials experience in there youth here in L.A .

The city of Bellflower is in the complete wrong here! The property owners own the building. And they paid, out of their own pocket, to put up art on their walls and uplift the community, with positive imagery that the city should be proud of. The city should be thanking them. Vote that mayor out, asap.

Vin Scully is a legend. A California legend.
Leave the mural alone, and paint over the disturbingly creepy city officials.
As Angelino's we respect the work, dedication, and effort taken to create this great mural. However, not sure if you all have noticed, but in the heart of L.A., East Hollywood, and even Gateway Cities have all seen an influx of out of state tourists who become citizens here in L.A., settle down, and then become offended of the local culture and murals representing the L.A. culture, and then take it to the higher ups who have no choice but to comply. It started with Gentrification half a decade ago, and now it's destroying L.A. culture next.

Make it a "Stretch Mural" that can be put up or taken down when you want to celebrate Recapture it and allow people to have their CARS stretched with the image.
Keep it up 💯
so what code is it breaking? unhelpful clip
Never destroy art, just like the Mona Lisa it's valuable and valued by many. Board it up, anything to save that great peace of art. It took time to make, and for it to be demolished like it's nothing shows just how unethical this is.
Leave it up
Vote carefully in your local elections. Ignore the usual buzz words about guns, immigration, and abortion. Issues like this is what really affects the community. Pay attention to how the candidates respond to this mural. That will tell you what kind of politician they are.
Definitely a nice mural
Months to paint....days for controversy to strike.... People need to get there heads out their asses already.... Not even murals are allowed to be public anymore.....Wtf !

Also like if that's going to be okay. What's going to be stopping anyway from painting their house full of swastikas and something and then having a bunch of cultist being like? Hey, that's fine. We should make petition and make sure that stays there as well. It's about the standard, not about the art itself

I believe most cities implement LA City municipal codes, since they are part of LA county. Would of been good for the report to specify what part of the code was in violation. Mural code doesn't say much. What is the colors? Words???
It's probably racist ignorant stereotypical people that are complaining about it,or code enforcement just lying about the complaints .just to justify them doing it..to prevent backlash on them..
Come paint ur stuff if u can here at my house
That’s amazing work and should never be shit on! I mean I’m sure the people complaining are the ones who would rather see a pleasant Christmas setting or people sitting around a campfire type shit. It’s private property and doesn’t break decency laws so what’s the deal.

If you keep it up, it will give those higher up a reason to continue being corrupt (and we know they are). If you follow the rules and bring it down, you gain the "right" to hold them accountable. Otherwise, they will feel they can continue getting away with things since you did.
