How does your city deal with graffitis? mine is plagued with graffitis and I can't see how they can be fought. It takes too much resources to remove them in a timely manner and impossible to catch the perpetrators.
- gametorch 1y agoYeah, graffiti is a real big problem compared to surveillance tech. Lol.

- vineyardmike 1y agoIt’s just a game of cat and mouse. I dont think there is a way to “win”, because it’s so easy to make new graffiti, and not practical to try and police and catch people in the act. I think they require private property owners to clean their own graffiti, which really sucks, but makes it more manageable for the city to focus on public areas. The city really just has a queue of cleanup sites and priorities locations that are high visibility or important, like school yards or transit infrastructure. An elementary school nearby had its mural destroyed by graffiti, and it was cleaned up within a day.
- matsemann 1y agoQuickly removing the graffiti is a deterrent in itself. People are less inclined to do it if it's never left untouched for long.
- renewiltord 1y agoSan Francisco does the sensible thing and fines the property owner. This is the just and right thing. In fact, I strongly support putting victims of drunk driving in jail: this strongly disincentivizes driving near drunk drivers.
- dawnerd 1y agoThey do that in my city too and it’s kinda insane. There was a shop that had a mural and the city considered it graffiti. So dumb.
