See how the Code of the Street works here? The Taggers of the DivCo in the lands north of the EaPA won’t lift their legs on Someone Else’s Art, the thinking goes.
But that doesn’t stop them from tagging the rest of your bidness, in’nt?

That’s what we call a Pyhrric Victory or something, right?

I think you need to look up the definition of Pyrrhic victory.
Because?
To wit:
“a victory or goal achieved at too great a cost”
The victory is that your garage door doesn’t get tagged.
The cost is that the rest of your bidness gets tagged all the more….
Kinda like having a bigger animal pee on your territory so you’re left alone.
Yes, but, in this case, you’re not left alone…
