What does LA have against art in public spaces?

In the last year at least three bits of public art have been destroyed in LA. LACMA destroyed the Margaret Kilgallens and Barry McGees that it commissioned for its parking garage, installations made by the French artist Invader -- including private commissions -- were destroyed, and now Kent Twitchell's giant downtown mural of Ed Ruscha has been painted over by persons unknown.
