Giving Up on Graffiti

I couldn’t believe it when I read that the city of Oxnard would require its homeowners to keep graffiti off their property or be penalized. The so-called deterrent of going after the taggers who have driver’s licenses nearly made me laugh.

It is obvious the city has just given up trying to capture taggers and recouping monies from them to restore vandalized property.

If appearances count for anything, it looks like we need some real leaders to emerge. The ones at the city don’t seem to be in control of the situation.
