The Impact of Graffiti and How to Get it Removed

San Francisco storefront with the impact of graffiti

The impact of graffiti has a wide range of negative connotations associated with it and can be particularly harmful to homeowners and businesses. A business with graffiti and other vandalism can deter potential customers, posing a challenge to the local economy. And a homeowner may not feel comfortable in their own home if their place has been “tagged.” That’s why cities like San Francisco are so diligent in addressing the issue soon after it arises. Here are some of the negative impacts of graffiti and how you can get it removed from your home or business quickly and professionally.

Negative Impact of Graffiti

Fear

One of the top negative impacts of graffiti is its association with gangs since many use it as a means to mark out their territory. The rest of the population that inhabits a certain area, unfortunately, pays the consequences of the unsightly images resulting from it.

Many residents in areas where graffiti is rampant experience tremendous fear because they know that gangs are lingering in the areas where graffiti is present.

Slows Business

Customers don’t want to be visiting businesses in areas with storefronts that are covered in graffiti. The feeling of safety and security diminishes when you enter parts of town that display graffiti.

Causes Uneasiness In Communities

Graffiti can cause a feeling of unease in a community, and it can cause potential homeowners to not even consider looking at real estate in communities that contain graffiti. Graffiti is commonly caused by youth-aged individuals that are starting a gang initiation, and it’s a gateway for other offenders, as well.
