curious how you know it's vandalism. like murals are a thing, getting approval from the building owner is a thing, one of the parts I miss most about my hometown was the art everywhere, but "fuck you" if you use spray paint as your medium I guess

You're asserting that Banksy gets permission from the owner of the wall before they paint on it? If so there's a lot of people out there pretending to know nothing about it when some art appears on their walls.

I'm not asserting anything, I was asking why he was asserting that it was definitively vandalism lol

If they had paid for use of the wall it would be very easy for them to prove it's not vandalism. They've never said they had permission, that I'm aware of. Can you link to them saying they do?

It makes money to have a famous artist give them free art

The point is we don't know, so we can't be sure it's vandalism. We just don't know.
