Brooklyn Got 'Tagged' More in '08
With tighter city budgets, quality of life issues are bound to get worse. Case in point: Graffiti complaints in North Brooklyn were up 20 percent last year; arrests were up 24 percent. “It’s bringing property values down,” complained one Bushwick resident whose building is frequently tagged.

Case in point: Graffiti complaints in North Brooklyn were up 20 percent last year; arrests were up 24 percent. “It’s bringing property values down,” complained one Bushwick resident whose building is frequently tagged. In parts of South Brooklyn like Sunset Park and Coney Island, complaints were up but arrests were down.

I see nothing escapes your eagle eyes bxgrl…perhaps you should turn your attention back to keeping your precious gown and tiara!
[Once again, she fails to notice the subtly of my approach.]
huh. B’stoner exiles my post cuz I swore in it, yet I see other F words in other posts? Well then F you too B’ Stoney! 🙂
Anyway. I live by the school mentioned in this article and I gotta say, they must clean that up asap because I’ve never really noticed the building covered in tags. Although, my g’dammed garage door got tagged all to hell a few weeks ago. Thanks, teenaged chumptards.
I may need to go back to my theory of preemtion and have a burner ‘commisioned’ on my garage door. Graffiti/murals = awesome. Tagging = blow me, a’hole.
I am NOT giving my tiara and gown to rob. Nothing personal, rob, but they’re MINE

BRG- it’s a lost cause. He’s projecting hysteria and has no further agenda other than insulting you. Don’t worry about it- it’s obvious to everyone except him. Could have been an interesting discussion- I’m fascinated with graffiti on a lot of levels, especially artistic and urban ones. On the one hand I hate to see beautiful old buildings defaced, on the other- I get much more upset if the trains aren’t running or cost too much more than the graffiti on them. On some of the older subway cars the graffiti was the best thing about them- when they ran.
Arrrrrggghhhh!
Since I am stuck in meetings for the rest of the afternoon, I thought I would go ahead and announce SOTD.

The Snark has spoken. Your mileage may vary.
‘Now where did I put that soundtrack from “Twilight Zone”???’
Ironic that you would own the soundtrack. You must have the beat in your head when posting.

“but c’hiller,you didn’t jump the snark.”
bxgrl, Perhaps I’m mistaken, but my understanding is that one doesn’t “jump the snark”, the “snark jumps you”.
