No Graffiti in Benicia?


No graffiti in Benicia? Fence, sidewalk, culvert, signpost, tunnel wall, utility box, underpass, wall, storage unit, building graffiti, you name it, we have it.

Most of it has been abated (covered), but, nonetheless, we have graffiti in Benicia. Just look at how much is in and around the Souhthampton Shopping Center. Can you imagine how much it cost for those businesses to cover all that? Practically, the whole south side of the shopping center has been repainted. Who would have the nerve to tell those retailers that we don't have a graffiti problem?

This is costing everyone in Benicia...whether it is a private resident, a business, or the City, there are big bucks going into this problem.

Would anyone care to dispute that?


Let us not put our heads into the sand and deny it. Rather, let's get together, acknowledge the problem, plan an effective strategy, implement it, and keep the problem under control as it is now. As we frequently say in my business, "When it is all said and done, its cheaper to go first class." We can pay now, or pay later.

I just noticed that a learning center was just tagged. That's new. There is definitely a problem here.
