This is overkill. We're getting several graffiti "clicks" every day, presumably from the same person,
and I'm afraid it will dilute the efforts of the City to follow and follow-up on ANY submissions.

This does seem like a small single issue, but if you don't clean it up while it is small then there will be more. This also sends a message to the taggers that this kind of behavior is not acceptable and is handled quickly in this neighborhood. The taggers will eventually go tag in a neighborhood where it is accepted. Not to mention I don't want to see that in my neighborhood.
The city is actually pretty good at cleaning up all the tags that they are responsible for.
