First, look at some pieces that have actually been up for a long time. In fact there's one that has been up longer than some of the readers of this blog have been alive. Jimi on Haight, Carmen on Fillmore, the stuff on Webste at Haight, stuff on Bryant; it's a long list of pieces that are untouched.Some stuff has the unspoken collective respect because they are political, social, comical or iconic. Other stuff looks like shit the day after it's thrown up.Plenty of Banksy's stuff is either cynical, sarcastic, political or makes a social statement; maybe that's why he's garnered so much respect.
