The theory is called “broken windows” and it was very effective in cleaning up New York City back in the 90s when the city actually cared, now it’s a trashed city. Unfortunately maintenance and up keep comes with owning property. The gentleman can get family, volunteers or hire someone to maintain his property as the neighbors and rest of the community don’t want to look at that each day. To those who say there is graffiti everywhere, why make this property owner clean it up? Unfortunately undesirables graffiti every day but you can’t just give up and not try and clean up the city. This guy is not the only person required to maintain his property.

Graffiti is a disease on a community and it needs to be cleaned up. The older gentleman can get help from family, volunteers, or pay someone to come maintain his property that he owns and is responsible for. Because of his age should he be allowed to store broken down appliances in his driveway? Cars up on blocks on the front lawn? After all he’s very old so standards and codes shouldn’t apply to him. I wouldn’t leave graffiti on my property for even one day, makes me look trashy. The city can’t use tax payers money and clean private property. As butt hurt as you realize that all cities require property owners to clean graffiti from their property, businesses. Stating that there is graffiti in other places including city property doesn’t mean that we should just give up and not clean up the mess in our cities including graffiti. I’m sure the city cleans up its fair share of graffiti on city property, it’s a never ending task but you can’t just except it and allow it to build up and stay, we already look like a 3rd world country in our cities, let’s take some pride.
