<br />
I've reported commercial graffiti on the same properties, and the response has been total ineffective. I mean 100's of reports and reply that it will be cleaned in 3 days, that never happen. So that corporate commercial graffiti a key problem that needs to be resolved before I find it worth spending time on other graffiti. Otherwise, reporting graffiti is always something like bailing water from a leaking boat, but the gaping hole of commercial graffiti is not addressed,....Dolores Cleanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03039240942523254713noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1820815531813977918.post-67953134227364674992011-03-14T00:27:00.000-07:002011-03-14T00:27:28.485-07:00Economics of graffiti cleanupthe value created if graffiti was cleaned from the area would be larger. in a large block, eg, 18th to 19th, Mission to Valencia, there would be about 80 properties. Estimate a million each property. 80 million. A permanent wide spread reduction in graffiti would raise property values by estimate 1%. So the value for a single large block would be $800,000.<br />
<br />
Does that sound like correct the order of magnitude?Dolores Cleanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03039240942523254713noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1820815531813977918.post-2649898715926689182011-03-04T09:11:00.000-08:002011-03-04T09:11:42.476-08:00Economics on graffiti cleanup.Market value of my time to get the graffiti cleaned, was gonna be much higher than my opportunity cost.<br />
<br />
Market Value. If I say 2500 tweets, at five minutes per. that is 12500 minutes. 12500/60= 208 hours.<br />
<br />
First to do it tweets, ( count 1/3 of them) $400/hour to $600/hr= <br />

What does externality mean? Well, for most products the person who buys them, gets all the benefit. e.g. If I buy pizza, me, not the neighbors, get the benefit of enjoying pizza. And if the benefit of me eating pizza is more than the cost, bingo. The famous invisible hand operates and the right amount of pizza and goods are produced.<br />
<br />
But with a good with externalities, such as cleaning graffiti, much of the benefits go to the neighbors, rather than solely to me. And the rational economist concludes that I will care just about my cost compared to my own benefit in cleaning graffiti, the market will not produce enough graffiti cleaning. That is because the benefits the neighbors get is external to my own choice if it is worth it to spend the time to try to get the graffiti. <br />
<br />
And, even if the neighbors come to want a neighborhood with less graffiti, they are likely to act as free riders. They will come to count on me getting the graffiti cleaned, and being a free rider.Dolores Cleanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03039240942523254713noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1820815531813977918.post-60617059764898838462011-02-27T08:43:00.000-08:002011-02-27T08:44:58.873-08:00Ambiental change on the streets. - What it would take for it to be persistent.Yes, I've seen ambiental change on the streets after I began making these graffitweet reports. It has taken somewhere over 2,000 reports, but those 2,000 report would not have been made without the conveience of cell phone camera reports through twitter and twicpic, or have been as effective without the traceable public record that creates accountability . <br />
<br />
So major goal accomplished. Horray. It can work!!! Citizen empowerment through new technology. Its San Francisco and Egypt. <br />
<br />
When I began with that goal, I don't think that I formulated, or articulated, that the change be persistent and sustainable. I just wanted to see a change, and thought it was possible with the new technology.<br />
<br />
I'm thinking about, and will blog later, on how to make the changes sustainable.

I recommend that SF adopt a law that if the owner gets a graffiti letter, he can sign away an authorization/release of liability for the City to paint over the graffiti. If the owner does not want to sign the letter, then, he gets some days to clean it before the fines start to kick in.Dolores Cleanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03039240942523254713noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1820815531813977918.post-85518427989322723242010-12-03T17:30:00.000-08:002010-12-03T17:30:39.593-08:00I've purposefully been going slow, and lowering my expectations.I was putting effort into this project, and feeling a corresponding disappointment when things did not happen.

This was an empty building for at least a year, and of course it got badly covered with graffiti, but they are doing a nice job renovating in, and I hear that it is going to be some type of New Orleans Preservation Hall West site, with a restaurant. This morning they were painting over the graffiti that has long marred the side of the building.<br />
<br />
195 Lexington, still is not very cooperative. Only after that building had the same graffiti from May to October, and was reported by me with photographic evidence of having the same graffiti and not being cleaned, did the owners do a part way job of cleaning the graffiti.

<br />
In San Francisco, the system is that complaint driven. And after, someone like me, makes a complaint about graffiti on a building, the City is supposed to in 48 hours inspect, post a notice, send a letter to the owner, give the owner 30. Reinspect.<br />
<br />
A bunch of times, I'm finding out the City does not send out the notice. A bunch of times, the City closed the request with the graffiti still in place. And there are a bunch of times when five months after the report no graffiti has been cleaned. Likely after a few months of graffiti being on a building, the pro-graffiti taggers think that they "own" that space, and new graffiti will be tagged within a week of the cleanup. <br />
<br />
So the likely result is even with someone making reports, graffiti is going to be on the building for 90 percent of the time. And there are a lot of overhead costs of inspection. hearings, aggravation when the City closes reports without taking action. <br />
<br />
Also, there is a definite aspect of making the victim of graffiti pay for the crime, while the City is partly to blame because it has not been good about trying to stop graffiti itself. <br />
<br />
That's reasons why I would support the type of program they have in Denver and New York where if the owner chooses to sign the City a permission / release of liability form, the City will paint out the graffiti. <br />

I'm trying for an ambiental change in the Mission Cityscape.<br />
<br />
How will I know when that will happen? I think I'll know, and I'm seeing progress, but I'm going to ahead of time make a objective marker. To be able for two days in a row walk around the block bordered by 18th, 19th, Valencia and Mission Sts and not see graffiti. Something about grimy sidewalks too.<br />
<br />
I'm not limiting my reports to that single block, and don't plan to stop if I achieve it, but there you go.<br />
Anyone want to guess how long it will take, and home many reports??Dolores Cleanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03039240942523254713noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1820815531813977918.post-2872471161462577622010-09-30T18:37:00.000-07:002010-09-30T18:37:06.342-07:00Open Government reporting with new technology can change the relationship between citizens and the government.I'm trying to work off some of the backlog of overdue reports, and flag them to SF311 one, or at most two a day. Too often, they have provide me with a new service number. Then I suspect that the original SR was closed. Do a time consuming search, and find out, that yest the original service request was closed.<br />
<br />
I'm believing that this pattern of closing service request without ascertaining if the graffiti has been removed has been happening for years. (one of my evidence is I made reports before and they were not acted up, but I did not keep the service record, and even less, I did not keep photographs that are undeniable before and after pictures.) And it keeps happening to me.<br />
<br />
I believe the unit of DPW that deals with this private property graffiti is not used to someone having dated photographic proof of the prior condition. They thought with impunity they could close cases, because it is easier to do that. And if someone complained, they would be complicity with the taggers, and claim that after it was erased it happened again.<br />
<br />
But now the level of dated photographic prove, is 100 times easier, and 20 time less expensive.<br />
<br />
The are going to have to get the idea that if they close a case that has been reported photographically, someone, ESPECIALLY if it me, is going to call them on it.

And although I don't report all of it, I have been making lots of reports. I don't want to overload SF311 with the reports. Sometimes they tweet back, that I already reported a graffiti. I might feel bad, but not so much bad because it is hard to keep track of the reports<br />
<br />
For reason, there are different time period. 48 hours for the typical street furniture. 3 days for parking meters. Two days plus ten days for newsracks. 20 business days for signs. 30 days for buildings. Supposedly 3 days for corporate graffiti, but that has never once happened.<br />
<br />
Point is I'm going to sometimes report graffiti a second time before the clock has run. And also importantly, I am deferring to report graffiti because I don't know if it is already on the clock.<br />
<br />
Well my tracking solution is having problems. My goto tracking solution has been the <a href="http://topsy.com/">topsy.com</a> web site. But something is going wrong, and searches are not including all the reports.<br />
<br />
So, today, there is some bad graffiti on the newsracks at 19th and Mission. I'm paying close attention to that corner. 18th to 19th on Mission is my adopted space, and first step towards a better six block stretch of Mission. But the <a href="http://topsy.com/">topsy.com</a> search engine is missing results when I search user, and newsrack.Dolores Cleanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03039240942523254713noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1820815531813977918.post-44382321869063787942010-09-29T20:19:00.000-07:002010-09-29T20:19:48.700-07:00Wow, getting frustrated, having a voice crack, but at least four buildings painted.Thank you, Thank you, thank you DPW/<br />
<br />
<br />
Well, as my posts suggest, I was getting frustrated by the lack of progress on many Mission Street buildings. four to five months. It carried over into my twitter reports as well, and I wondered was I losing some cool on this. My tone sometimes had frustration .. <br />
<br />
Whatever, it worked, or there was a coincidental timed reaction. Because at least four buildings were painted over their graffiti this morning.<br />
<br />
The big one was 2298 Mission Street. That building had graffiti that was signed from 2008. Is in a promient location. And was real ugly.<br />
<br />
Also, nearly on the corner was 2293 Mission Street,<br />
<br />
and 2270 /2272 Mission St also got cleaned this morning. Some but not all of 2225 Mission St., was closed.<br />
<br />
And even a building between 19th and 20th was cleaned. I don't know the exact number.<br />

My thinking is an ambiental change won't happen where there are several large three year old tags in the same vista. I also thought that undeniable photographic links that report is months overdue, would be a cause for something to happen.<br />
<br />
I'm starting to increasingly doubt, that even sending to SF311 four and five months old reports on graffiti blighted buildings is going to have any effect.Dolores Cleanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03039240942523254713noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1820815531813977918.post-70513807942234058582010-09-22T21:27:00.000-07:002010-09-22T21:27:08.599-07:00Followup, Followup, Followup.I've got some good news, and some bad news.<br />
What do you want first.<br />
The good news.<br />
<br />
The good news is:<br />
<br />
<ul><li>DPW is doing a good job in cleaning the graffiti located on public items. Real good job. Thanks DPW. It makes a difference in how people on the street feel. Safer, Prouder, </li>
<li>Things have gotten much better at both Rec and Park facilities. Not only graffiti I report is getting cleaned, but unreported graffiti is getting cleaned. And most importantly, RPD painters are now buying into the view that if graffiti is timely cleaned, less new graffiti will come up. (so their work is easier), and before it seemed to be the opposite- he said, since they are just going to re-tag this tomorrow, don't waste time painting it today.</li>
<li>SF311 works great. Thanks SF311. Thanks twitter. Thanks technology opportunity, #opengov #gov20</li>
<li>Post Office, response is good too as is other entities like Fire, Street signs, etc. </li>
</ul><div>The bad news is :</div><div><ul><li>Graffiti on private building is still a disaster, and the DPW process is not working..</li>
<li>Commercial graffiti, as in llegal sign-age is not only a disaster, but is a disgrace. Not a single reported building has been cleaned in four months. </li>
</ul></div><div><br />
</div><div>New follow up technique, in that sometime SF311 wants the original SR#.</div><div><br />
</div><div>Add the SR into the comments field of twitpic, it creates a new tweet, and when search will connect the address with the SR#</div>Dolores Cleanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03039240942523254713noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1820815531813977918.post-52584308802821178602010-09-16T08:26:00.000-07:002010-09-16T08:26:52.768-07:00Follow upI'm getting better at following up old reports that were not abated. I think this could be a major breakthrough, it can "turn the corner."Dolores Cleanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03039240942523254713noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1820815531813977918.post-88153717938118578372010-09-09T23:20:00.000-07:002010-09-09T23:21:40.247-07:00haha, StrategerySo, you may have noticed, I am trying to rethink my strategery. <br />
<br />
I've come to think that my initial graffiti plans, trusted too much that graffitweet to SF311 about building graffiti would be timely followed up upon, and in my excitement over this new technology, I made reports that covered more than a single block. Then I was disappointed when too little happened. It should have worked, . . .<br />
<br />
Maybe, I threw a too wide of a geographical net on my reports, and diluted their impact. Instead, I am now thinking the strategy of a beach head, toe hold, (Think the current TV commercial about harlem children's nonprofit where bricks represent each block.) For September and October, I'm going to concentrate on a single one block area, 18th to 19th, Valencia to Mission, (and yes, Lexington and San Carlos are important, but they are inside of my one adopted block.). <br />
<br />
. . . If the beach head is achieved, from there I will "march" to 16th and 24th Street BART stations like Stanford told me would be necessary.<br />
<br />
Dolores Park is still very much in my heart for improvement, but I am wary of being a force against graffiti there and being connected with the pro - motocop forces. So, I'm lowering my attention on Dolores Park. Sad that the politics is getting in the way....

<br />
SF311 state that all the MUNI signs and poles in Dolores Park are to be cleaned by Muni. The Rec and Park painter does not want to clean the MUNI stuff in Dolores Park. Gonna have to repeatedly send these requests in.<br />

Someone from Denver who is doing much the same thing as me, is starting to follow me on twitter.Dolores Cleanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03039240942523254713noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1820815531813977918.post-81165794274092792812010-08-28T22:15:00.000-07:002010-08-28T22:15:37.476-07:00I'm going to concentrate on the buildings that are never cleaned.I've got about 10 to 12 buildings in the immediate area that are months overdue for cleaning. They are going to be my main concern. I will continue to make some other reports when it is convenient to do so, but in terms of where my effort will go, I am going to concentrate on the long overdue buildings, and will be selective in adding new buildings. If I have a second priority, it will be newsracks.Dolores Cleanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03039240942523254713noreply@blogger.com0
