It seems like graffiti is everywhere in the city, especially in urban areas. We’re all impacted by it financially because $2 million of our tax dollars are used to remove it. However, as we observe our surroundings on our walks, us pedestrians probably see more graffiti than most people.
The city auditor’s office recently did a study on graffiti and came back with some interesting statistics, including that public property is tagged more often than private. Also, sticker graffiti is more common than spray paint graffiti.
39% of survey respondents said graffiti was not a problem, while about the same percentage said it was a medium to very big problem.
The study also includes a few recommendations. Visit the Seattle Crime blog for more details.
