Graffiti may be a hostile act of rebellion, but the taggers who flock to Long Island City street art mecca 5Pointz are trying to save the complex through traditional peaceful means: petitions! Owner Jerry Wolkoff is unswayed, and still plans to replace 5Pointz with two towers, though he's downsized his aspirations from 1,300 rental units to between 800 and 900 apartments. He'll toss in a graffiti wall for the 5Pointz vets. [NYDN; previously]
