Street art and graffiti: legal walls vs vandalism, sentence 4

Some street art becomes famous, like Banksy's stencils, and some towns protect loved graffiti behind glass while neighbours argue "It's art!" "It's a mess!"; but train tracks are never a place for art, because fast, quiet trains and electrified rails kill.

Who acts: street art, towns, neighbours, art, train tracks, fast quiet trains · What happens: become, protect, love, argue, be, not be · To what, where: loved graffiti, glass, art, mess, place · Speech: someone speaks here
