Summary
"Its easy to miss some of the smaller, yet important, changes that can happen in our community as we go about our busy
lives. One such change noticeable yet often overlooked change is the presence or impact of graffiti. Graffiti has been
known to literally change the face of a community. It can cause people to avoid an area while attracting criminals to it.
Yet very few of people see it as a problem when it is still small and manageable. This may help to explain why some
estimates of graffiti damage now exceed $13 billion annually in the United States where the tolerance for graffiti is now
known to be a very poor option."
