How do we solve the graffiti/tagging problem?

Question

it is like a plague in our society. it spreads to everywhere. it destroy our neighborhood, devalue our property and discourage business.

we spend hundreds of millions tax dollar to combat this petty crime.

what is our solution? how do we stop these people from ruin our neighborhood?

i know one thing for sure, we need to adjust our attitude and stop using terms like "graffiti artist". to me, crime is no art. these people are like thieves, definitely not deserve a title of "artist"

Answer 3

Answer 4

it is art believe it or not. its street art. ppl have classes for it for different purposes. people can do it legally in certain place so dont say it isnt art. its just the people. it takes skill to have that talent.

you cant stop it tho. its already a law. even if you paint over it they will just come back for a new tag.

Answer 5

There should be parks available to the public to allow them to practice their art in a legal way.
