Graffiti's back and it's makin' us look bad, or nah?
Listen, I'm not even gonna hold you, I've been lookin' at these 311 requests and one jawn keeps poppin' up: graffiti. We got three of the top issues on the list about graffiti removal, and that ain't a good look for the city, you know? Like, we’re out here tryin' to clean up, fix up, and then you got taggers comin' through and just makin' a mess. It's frustrating 'cause you see people puttin' in work, tryin' to make their blocks nice, and then somebody gotta come through and ruin it.
### Your Neighborhood, Your Issues
This ain't just some random thing, this is what *you* are callin' about. People are pickin' up the phone and sayin', "Yo, this jawn needs to go." It shows that folks in neighborhoods across the city are fed up with it. It’s not just an eyesore, it can make a block feel less safe, you know? It's like, if nobody cares about the walls, what else are they not caring about?
We gotta keep an eye on this. Are we gonna see more resources for clean-up crews? Is there a new plan comin' down the pike to deal with this? 'Cause right now, it feels like we're just chasin' our tails, cleanin' up one spot only for another one to pop up. That's the jawn, Philly — we don't do fake out here.
