what do you all think of graffiti?


Whenever I see it on my local streets, I reach for this:

http://streetfaults.tfl.gov.uk/newfault.shtml

I complain, and the graffiti gets mopped up (or the bollards repaired,
or the street lights replaced, etc.). The feedback is nonexistant so
I can't tell if it was *my* online complaint that triggered the
repairs. In any event it's a good tool for improving the mental
health of the public. Part of the problem with graffiti is that it
enrages people and they feel powerless to fight back. Here is a tool
that seems to even the odds a bit.
