What a wonderful way to spend tax dollars -- cosmetic retrofitting to address a perception problem.

Looks pretty straight down to me.

I like how the shadows really emphasize the swastika look.

What I mean is that in the frame, the building is at 45deg. IE They didn't take it with the street running across the bottom.

What a waste of tax dollars. Anyone who is offended can either pay for it themselves or STFU.
