sevfiv Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 More gated communities will solve this problem! you mean...jail? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJones Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 I find this to truly be an injustice. Making the victims PAY for someone else's crime is just Ludicrous. If you get the taggers who get caught be the ones that have to PAY for someone else to professionally paint the building that the offense occurred on, I guarantee the rate of that crime will drop by HALF with 6 months.

musicman Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 I'm torn on this ordinance. I dislike the City's fining the non-responsible party to the crime but not removing graffiti within 10 days is pretty inexusable, unless you're an absentee owner.many of the city's properties have graffitti on them....we'll see if they magically get cleaned up.

Houston1stWordOnTheMoon Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Or cause more of a problem because the fences/gates are just something else they can paint!That all depends on the type of gated community it is. If it is something similar to the apartment jungles, then you have a point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbigtex56 Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 Who determines what is and what is not graffiti? If someone paints a mural on his building, does he need to defend it against the graffiti police? Rather than paying a fine, I'd be tempted to respond to the city by saying "I paid someone to paint that. It's art, dammit!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
