This promotion for Shelter, the housing charity, is up in Briggate, Leeds City centre at the moment. Shelter's message is "stick it to bad housing" and the public are invited to write their personal housing problems on the wall. I think this outdoor installation is a really good way of showing the public just how many people live in poor housing conditions,however the public haven't taken it seriously and many people have simply added toilet-graffitiesque messages.
It would be much more powerful if the messages were from genuine peope in need of better housing.

Its a good use of outdoor space and effective way of at least raising awareness of the shelter programme, just shame people are abusing the situation, but at the same time to be expected i suppose.
