Gone from the city's budget and unavailable for services to the people who funded said budget.
Not that hard to comprehend, right?

Right out the window? Where do you think it went? Everyone involved with this project was paid and that money will continue to flow through the local economy with their own respective spending activities. The money isn't gone and vanished, it's just no longer in the city's budget.
Granted, could that money have been used better? Sure. But it wasn't just lit on fire.

Right out the window. Gonna cost a lot to eventually remove the monstrosity as well.

That’s art. Even if you miss the intention of the artist, it evokes feelings. Then you read the sign and learn a bit more. I think the sculpture is the start. Each new piece of information makes the sculpture more beautiful. My first feeling was not beauty but as I learned more I liked it more. Now I love it, just like the love it expresses.

Does a good angle come from a drones perspective?

If it wasn’t for the hand, I would think it’s something going up a persons butthole.

Still looks like crap from this angle.

It’s an eye sore to walk by everyday. No overreacting. I still can’t believe when the artist showed his 3d printed renders nobody told him this was a bad idea. In 20 years kids will hear mlk and think of a big penis or poop statue and not even know why he was important to their everyday lives.

and the sign should include the photograph of Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King.

I saw it more as the fellatio pose or the turd hug.

It’s two people hugging without heads or bodies.

That’s a good analogy. I thought it was like two turds hugging from one angle. It’s really ugly unless you look at it just right and you just finished studying the picture it was based on. Nothing surprising given the bullshit politics of Boston (I live here).

No real hate for it. I will say though that somehow, since I've been watching Doom patrol, it does invoke a little bit of a were-butt vibe, but that's just my brain.
