Graffiti cleanup in Meadowbrook neighborhood will be costly
Seattle city officials are crying foul over last weekend's graffiti vandalism of Meadowbrook Pond, which they say will be expensive to clean up and is indicative of a rising number of such attacks.
More than 50 graffiti "tags" were painted on and around the rock wall sculpture and covered shelter at the pond, near the Meadowbrook Community Center at Northeast 105th Street and 35th Avenue Northeast.
Mayor's Anti-Graffiti Task Force Executive Order
Why clean up graffiti? Maybe NYC's mayor put it best: Graffiti has an adverse effect on the quality of life in various communities in the city, creating an impression of disorder and chaos. Graffiti vandalism can be a precursor to more serious acts of crime and violence. The damage caused by graffiti-related vandalism depreciates the value of the property it defaces and costs the city and property owners millions of dollars in clean-up expenses each year. In recent years graffiti "tags" have become a means of communication for drug dealers and gangs. The city therefore has a substantial interest in the removal of existing graffiti and the prevention of future graffiti.
