Don't disagree necessarily but I strongly suspect when humans feel trapped in a soulless and institutionalized looking environment it makes them go a little crazy - the need to "personalize" things runs deep. Why do prisoners draw on the walls or kill for posters or anything to instill a sense of humanity? Same neural patterns at work I suspect.
If the landscape were more pleasing to start with it'd bring the real thug goons out since they'd be be only ones tagging then (and would / should get no sympathy at that point). Heck, probably 75% of tagging is dumb goons anyway and maybe 25% (if that) people needing an outlet for creative expression but you've got to start someplace...
