Don't blame the City? Stop forcing us to pay exorbitant taxes. Yes, the community needs to step in, but don't tell us not to blame the City. I abide by laws, treat people with respect and now more responsibility on me and fellow small business owners? Then what of those who carry on as they choose? They get a free ride? Very underwhelmed by all of this
The city is absolutely to blame. By not enforcing laws or punishing the people who do this they are ABSOLUTELY inviting it. By foisting Sanctuary city status on us, they are inviting it. With some of the highest business taxes and fees in the world, the city ABSOLUTELY owes it's residents for the vibrancy they bring to this community. SF is just Fresno or Modesto without all the small specialty shops and businesses that attract tourists and bolster the city's image. Newsflash, Starbucks and Tiffany and all the other BS mall stores exist in every city in the world. It's our small businesses that draw people and make this city unique. The city leaders are absolute pos with absolutely no respect and no empathy for small businesses owners. The real victims in this city are hard working business owners and the honest service workers that keep this city moving. The city needs to quit blaming the real victims and coddling the people that are ruining. Supervisors, the governor and the mayor need to take a good hard look at themselves and the BS policies they're foisting on its citizens.
Yeah "stop blaming the city" because they've done such a great job enforcing laws and prosecuting criminals. What a idiotic statement, "stop blaming the city!"
these people need to be arrested, they also paint on highway signs, arrest them, foreclose on these people's homes, impound their cars, make them pay for the clean up then x10 times for punitive damage.
A lot of taggers travel far and wide. I remember meeting these Australian dudes on Bart and made small talk bc I noticed them basically casing spots to tag.

They throw it back at the residents in the area and say you guys need to patrol your own area we can't do it all.

Toys are running shit, i hate to say in but the cops need to put these toys in place, they keep getting away with it and they keep painting ass all over the city, im a tagger to but i agree the city has a lot of shitty graffiti they dont know the rules
Stop City of SF. Call it what it is. Not "tagging" which is an innocent sounding word. It's CRIMINAL DAMAGE and charge the individuals with felonies. Not the business owners but the Perpatrators.
I just drove through San Francisco last week. 19th Avenue is riddled with graffiti. And that area is not downtown or the tenderloin. San Fran continues to go downhill, and no one seems to give a shit.
I hate it when people say graffiti is done to destroy things every writer you see for the most part are actually really talented its just they see one tag and they think there bad at art.if you search up a random writer that you see enough times you will see amazing graffiti a tag is just a signature they do tags to get their name up quickly if it is in a area where they dont have enough time Edit: watch style wars and you will understand it a bit more
I like to see you say that when the building you live in is tagged with random scribbles every day. There is a difference between murals and punks who need an ego fix.
I take pictures of tags from all over the place. some of it is awesome work others is just plain gibberish looks like a piece of garbage flung on to the wall.
TOTALLY DISAGREE! Owners are at fault?! Stop blaming the city?! Wrong! I pay $$$$$ in property Tax and $$$$$ in Sales Tax?! Understaff SFPD and UNDER STAFF PUBLIC AGENCIES…unable to hire! Report on that! That’s NEW news.
Stop blaming the City? Hilarious hypocrisy! How about forcing the parents of taggers to pay for remediation? It's really bad on Alemany between Congdon and the freeway off-ramp, hundreds of feet of back fences vandalized. This is not "Art" it is crime.
I was recently in Venice Italy, one of the most beautiful cities in the world, still I saw stupid scrolls and IDs sprayed on historic buildings which can only be viewed as desecration. To say these narcissistic spray can bandits devaluing personal propety are artist is to like saying diarrhea is a pleasant experience.
Years ago, Michael Fay was arrested and caned in Singapore. Sometimes, with some people, you just have to be really strict with them. Otherwise, they will create havoc and the rest of us suffer for their actions. These criminals should be arrested, made to clean up grafitti and made to pay for the supplies. She is wrong. The city has to take some responsibility!
I think they’re right the priorities there are a lil upside down right now. It was shocking to watch these businesses discussing stuff because I can’t believe there is businesses still open or running other then app techy corporations. In other words that areas economy is incredibly the start of “maaaaany problems”. They just walking out of stores with goods in there hand like nobody sees that they’re shoplifting! 😂 we understand the urgency to make areas that they’re talking about look improved and……clean. I’m telling you that you have to look around the area especially at night to understand something that they’re going through
Other cities have curtailed graffiti by limiting access to spray paint. Anyone who buys a can must be 25, shows ID, number of cans of spray paint that can be purchased at one time is limited, and the purchase is entered into a city database. Reducing availability to the taggers reduces the amount of tagging. Property owners can fight back by immediately painting over. I've watched a house on the corner by my condo in The Mission paint over graffiti at least twice the past summer. They keep some of the same exterior paint on hand.
Lopping graffers in the same boat with gang bangers is idiotic. A lot of you suburbanites need to get some education🤣🤣🤣🤣 »sEnTenCe ThEm WiTh MoRe TiMe » LOL

Once neighbors do something, then the city steps in to tell you to stop.

Stop blaming the city. Blame the media with reports like this. It even suggested taggers will become artists down the road.
