Why is there so much graffiti and vandalized public property in downtown Montreal?

Question

There are (very ugly) tags on EVERY SINGLE PIECE of street furniture in downtown. Some of them are so full of graffiti and scratches that it is not possible to place another letter.

Also on every single block, there are at least a couple of pieces of street furniture that are broken or vandalized.

And ALL trash cans are either leaking, broken, bended, or vandalized in some other way.

Can anyone explain a reason for that? Are vandals trying to send a message? Because I'm not getting that message, maybe they are not doing it the right way.

Are there programs to fix all this stuff?

Answer 1

I don't think people like you should ever leave Texas, the best place having comprehensive programs to fix all and any  stuff by being the world capital of capital punishment...

As for Montreal, just don't go there it is not the place for you.

Answer 2

Well there are parts of Montreal that have that stuff and there are parts that don't... Overall i agree its not the cleanest....

But your saying that one can't find a place to take a clean pic...dude thats a 5-star exaggeration

Answer 3

Ah the youth of today - I swear...

And please don't get me started on Houston TX -  I lived in that nasty city for a couple of years!

Never again!

Did you know that they are more "ghetto Mexicans" living in that dreadful Texan town than Americans?!?

Unbelievable!

You'd be better off in Dallas TX!

No seriously, Montreal is 100% better than Houston TX, trust me!

In any event, which part of Montreal do you live in - just curious?

P.S. And what do you mean by "street furniture" by the way?!?

Answer 4

becuase there's a lot of "ghetto-ness" in Montreal. Graffiti is in a lot of places. I guarantee you that. You think Montreal is badd; you should see Houston,Texas! (if you haven't already.)
