Like gray skies and rainfall, graffiti in the city of Seattle, Washington, is ubiquitous today. Defaced public and private property can be seen everywhere—storefronts, apartment buildings, commercial vehicles, highways, bridges, street signs and recycling bins all bear the urban scrawl. Nothing is spared. Everything appears to be fair game, including magazine display racks, utility poles—even historic sites.(Snip)Vassie Skoulis, a mother of two and a Seattle homeowner, told Fox News Digital, "Seattle has chosen to punish its residents who desire to live peacefully and respectfully with their neighbors and decided to stop enforcing rules, policies and laws."
"Residents must clean up garbage and vandalism in their neighborhood,"

They get what they vote for, eh? The Emerald City has been trashed by the lefty dem. Activists and made un livable! ...Hopefully they will vote for more responsible candidates who will return Seattle to its former compassion and beauty before they trash the entire State!

I can't feel sorry for people who play with fire then end up burning down their own houses. Isn't this what you voted for, Seattle? Buyer's remorse much? You'll need to suffer a little more for the lesson to take hold. Idiots.

I think it is the fruit of the poisonous tree that is the dimokkkrap party with its deep roots in slavery. To paraphrase bye.dim, “you ain’t a slave if you don’t vote for [bi.den]”
Enjoy it! It’s diverse — from civilization.

So, who has Repeatedly voted for the same idiotic Democrats in every recent election? The same parents complaining now. You reap what you sow and if you are too stupid to realize that, then enjoy the squalor of Seattle, now a third world city.

We had to drive through Seattle a few weeks ago to pick up a relative at the airport. I couldn't believe the graffiti on the walls along the freeway. It was non-stop, along with trash all over. Seattle used to be a safe and beautiful city.
BTW...the reason mayor Durkin stopped calling it the 'Summer of Love' was because two women who were rioting on the freeway in the summer of 2020 were hit by a man who deliberately drove past the police barricade. Their names were Summer Diaz and Taylor Love. Ms. Love was killed.

Elections have consequences. Years and years of liberal politicians winning and implementing liberal policies has consequences. Years and years of ignoring laws and allowing homeless vagrants to rule the streets have consequences. Years and years of taking for granted the excellent quality of life that you had because of conservative policies, that made your city desirable has consequences. Your city's success has made you able to be liberal and lazy and that has consequences. Now, you are living with the consequences. Deal with it. You voted for it, you got it!

Graffiti like blm painted on the streets payed for by the government? All graffiti is the same to me, even many murals that some call art. Rudy was right when he worked to fix "broken windows".

Real life study shows that if graffiti is covered (with paint or other) within 2 days it is not replaced. My personal study showed that the local government is no help at all, but if you have paint and a brush, the graffiti goes away.

Not a war zone, a conquered area. Conquered by a crazy, out of control leftist freakshow. And the majority of the voters are part of the freak show.

A lot of it is repeat taggers...same signature all over the place, catch them on camera, discover who it is...sentence them to remove ALL graffiti and keep it gone for a period of years for a certain geographic area, let THEM drive out other "Artists" who make that task harder. The 1st dozen or so will be easy to find, they will also then turn in the guys making them constantly clean up their territories, by the time 100 are sentenced to maintaining graffiti free zones....the issue will be close to being solved.
Outside of NYC and some parts of LA the only graffiti most people saw was the Hobo scrawls on passing traincars...there was one guy who always drew a sombrero wearing Mexican character napping by a palm tree...I saw his "art" all across the country on Trains.

All it takes is a simple phone call to U-Haul - unless you like living under the law of the jungle.

I visited Seattle for my job in the early 1980's.
It was a nice place... back then.

FTA: "Seattle parents angry and upset as graffiti makes their city seem like 'a war zone'" That's the very definition of "Chickens coming home to roost". Now the only thing they can say is, Why was I so stupid?

They demanded anarchy and hailed uncontrolled violent rioting as the Summer of Love, but now they want to get off the ride. Wall the place off and keep them there or they'll move elsewhere and demand the same thing.
