New York City has been blighted by graffiti leaving some areas of the Big Apple 'looking like war zones' reminiscent of the 1970s and 1980s, leading to a barrage of vandalism complaints.
As part of a major clean-up operation announced on Wednesday, NYPD officers will examine graffiti tags for clues about gang activity in the city after the department said it had received over 6,000 complaints in 2020 alone.
The explosion of graffiti has left parts of New York City looking like it did in the 70s and 80s, before CCTV cameras acted as a deterrent and clean-up initiatives were implemented by mayors Michael Bloomberg and Rudi Giuliani.

NYCers apparently are incapable of learning. After the Dinkins years, they were rescued by Guiliani and NYC actually became a tourist destination again. Now it’s back to the bad old days - when you hear about New York in the news its because hapless old women or Rick Moranis are being assaulted by criminals. Graffiti is the least of their problems, but hey - you wanted Bill DeBlasio, you got him. Enjoy!
The reason NY has DeBlasio is because Tony Weiner couldn’t keep his in his pants.
So it’s kind of poetic justice.
It has been said that tagging is the first step of terrorism.
I am sure you are aware that movie is an updated version of Xenophon’s “Anabasis”.
Bite the Big Apple.
Don’t mind the maggots.
“ Well, New Yorkers.. remember.. you wanted this.”
I have so little sympathy for them! Actually none. Please don’t let any of them leave to seek relief elsewhere until they clean this mess up and admit their mistake.
Stupid from stupid. With principals like this, wasting taxpayer money on such nonsense, with commie curricula as learning material, and coming mostly from single parent homes with little parental supervision, I don't give the students much chance of improving their lot in life. Mostly, they become unwed parents themselves and drop out of school. DumblASSio's NYC.
Go ahead, Bite the Big Apple, don’t mind the maggots.
Shadoobie!
And soon the annual murder rate will be back to quadruple digits.
Ah, sweet nostalgia.
As I recall, after Giuliani cleaned up New York, the NYT published an editorial which missed the graffiti and sleaze that gave New York so much of its charm.
Now they can celebrate that the sleaze is coming back!
No, I did not know that, but I did know that the DJ in the movie was also The Chief in "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego."
Happy Exelauno Day!
Yes.
The FBI doesn’t give a damn... about this or new violence or illegals flooding the country.
Or bombers using pressure cookers... Or Antifa and BLM doing two billion dollars worth of damage in the last 12 months...
Nope, the FBI is hunting the big delusion: traditional Americans to are the political opponents of White Liberal Elites.
Giuliani needs to put up a billboard:
“MISS ME YET??”

She certainly had NO AUTHORITY to do such.
Better they tag than knock out grannies.
RE: NYPD begins massive clean-up following 6,000 complaints
Who’s doing the cleanup, COPS?
Is that what they’re going to do from here on?
