Graffiti-proofing products would put the city on offense
Slampo read a Chron This Week story last week (got that?) about graffiti eradication efforts in southwest Houston, and he points out that things aren't looking up:
The bad news is the Sisyphusean futility of this endeavor: What amounts to success, at least as the Chronicle story suggests, is the apparently never-ending painting, repainting and re-repainting over of the same walls that get tagged (as they say) and retagged by two collections of unsupervised youth who skulk under the names La Primera and Sureņos.

As you might expect this boulder-rolling can be costly, in both dollars and elbow grease. The management district has contracted with a clean-up crew
My question is this: Has the management district or HPD looked into graffiti-proofing products? It might be more expensive initially, but in the long run it could prove to be a good financial move. It would also put the city on offense instead of defense.
