I have a sister who lives behind Richmond Hi-School and house she’s renting has been on the market for over a year now. (23rd St & Emeric Ave)…And another who moved and now has her house on Road 20 as a rental property…
But building a Starbuck’s on 3rd street in Hunter’s Point area, I’m trying to figure that one out…

Because graffiti is heaviest @ territorial boundaries, you can actually map neighborhood that way. Proximity to graffiti can mean you outside more problem areas.

Be glad you missed the SF Bay Area in 2000. Vacancy rates< 1% and 2BD apartments were going for $2k a month.

This Richmond High area is not what I would call a great neighborhood. Its right near the San Pablo border, and if people think Richmond is high crime, San Pablo is worse…

Thanks. I had not realized that. I generally look for areas with no gang tags but did not think that these areas may be tag free because they are inside a territory.
Reminds me of a community in New Haven CT, near where I grew up, where the crime rate was near nothing. Couple of gangs tried to intrude but the members were found in the river wearing concrete shoes. Apparently the elderly parents of the local Cosa Nostra lived in the neighborhood so it was the only place in the area safe to walk the streets at night. Unless you were there to cause trouble of the local bosses though you were. Area was called “little Italy”.

Rich,
One of the keys to slowing the spread of graffiti is to remove it, or cover it over as soon as it is discovered.
Graffiti is not a random act, it is the human equivalent of peeing on a fire hydrant. It’s like when a dog does that deed, every other dog follows right behind marking/remarking their territory.
By removing the blight you make it less likely that others will feel the need to engage in that garbage, and the original ‘artist’ will be less likely to tag that location again.
Graffiti was a constant battle in my neighborhood when I lived adjacent to the LA Harbor, and I found the only good deterent was persistance and perserverance in removing the tags ASAP.
Ironically, the main taggers were little white gangtser wanna-bes. Most came from decent homes yet wanted the ‘street cred’ among their peers. I once caught a 13yo checking up the following day on the tags he put across the street in front of my house, and that scared little boy almost wet his pants. He didn’t tag us anymore, either.
Again, the best way to stop graffiti is to remove it immiediately, and keep a constant vigil.

We paint the taggers back - Posted by Bubba

We installed video cameras that capture the wall they tag. It captures their car plates too. We track them down and spray hippie flower designs on their house and cars.
We’re also installing high pressure paint nozzles toward the top of the wall. When we see them on the video we launch the spray attack with a lovely pink color. Next is a set of semi automatic paint ball guns that will cut loose in a torment of tagger terror that will make them wet their pants.
There is also a switch on the gate around the back of the building. When tripped our sweet little Dobermans named Bonnie and Clyde will be loose and attracted to the noise on that side of the building.
If this doesn’t work, we’ll go back to medieval strategies of vats of hot oil from above.

“Ironically, the main taggers were little white gangtser wanna-bes.”
Remember, the Black gangstas are wanna-bes also as they emulate the behavior or the original gangstas who came to this country as immigrants (Irish, Italians, etc.).
