It’s as obvious as someone’s nickname scrawled in bright green spray paint on the side of a white washed adobe wall: Graffiti in Santa Barbara is at an all time high. From elaborate displays on freeway overpasses and railroad under crossings to the hastily sketched monikers on sidewalks and simple "ES" or "WS" gang provocations on each side of town,
Nike Free Run Powerlines Ii Brown verde Mujeres Venta Zapatos Baratos, it’s hard to walk down almost any street in Santa Barbara without spotting signs of a tagger’s late night handiwork. And despite combined efforts from the police, city workers,
2012 Nike Free Run Uomini 4.0 Rosso Grigio Per economici Scarpe autentici, and volunteers all over town,
310455 411 Air Jordan 20 University Blue White Save Time And Money Now, the costly and constant trend only seems to be on the rise.

"It’s a nuisance problem,
Nike Free Run 4.0 V2 Antracita trullo acolchado Para Zapatos Baratos," explained Charles Katsapis,
Nike Free Run 3.0 Plata Mujeres Purple A Precio Más Bajo 55% De Descuento, an officer with the Santa Barbara Police Department who deals with graffiti on a regular basis. "We live in a beautiful city,
2014 Nike Free Run Gimnasio Blanco Azul Hombres Comprar Con Seguridad, and no one likes to see it." And like more traditional nuisances such as litter, dilapidated buildings,
Nike Free Run Powerlines Ii Azul Oscuro Hombres Con Descuento Grande, and abandoned vehicles,
Nike Free Run 2 grises verdes Mujeres Tenemos El Precio Bajo En Línea, the explosion of graffiti threatens to harm Santa Barbara’s profitable reputation as a quaint tourist destination and,
Nike Free Run 4.0 Fly Line Uomini Blu Nero In vendita con prezzo scontato, most critically to residents, to lower property values.

Confronting the graffiti tide has become a daily race in painting over paint, a back and forth,
2014 Nike Free Run Gym Bianco Rosso Uomini Negozio all’ingrosso in linea, nearly Sisyphean task for the City of Santa Barbara’s streets maintenance team,
2012 Nike Free Run 2.0 Gris Púrpura Mujeres Regalo Para Usted o Su Familia, who go out early every morning to clean up as much as they can before the sun rises,
2012 Nike Free Run 3.0 Viola Bianco Donne Qui sarebbe la scelta migliore, only to see their efforts tagged up as soon as the next night. "The amount of cleanup we’ve done has almost quadrupled," said city Streets Manager Rick Fulmer,
Nike Free Run 5.0 V4 2012 Red Black Light Confort Mujeres Para Barato, who said the graffiti abatement program costs his department alone about $200,000 annually. "We’re tired of being hit all the time with people demanding that the city and police do something about it. Two of the West Coast’s most popular art exhibits this summer,
Mujeres Nike Free Run 3 Total Naranja Plata Platino Volt Para Barato, Street Cred at the Pasadena Museum of California Art and Art in the Streets at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, were all about graffiti; the documentary Exit Through the Gift Shop,
Nike Roshe Run Fb Yeezy Orange Leopard Mujeres Outlet Tienda Online 2014, by notorious British street artist Banksy,
Nike Roshe Run Nm Breeze Negro Hombres Es Una Buena Opción Para Usted, nearly won the 2011 Academy Award; and major brands such as Coca Cola, Nike,
2012 Nike Free Run Tr Fit Azul Blanco Hombres Más De 60% De Descuento, and Sony have hired "aerosol artists" in recent years for advertising campaigns. Though much of what’s seen every day in Santa Barbara doesn’t rise to this quality, there are some hidden spots that aren’t regularly painted over where the spray paint does shine.

Some communities have chosen to embrace the trend rather than fight it,
2012 Nike Free Run 3 Gris Verde Mujeres Tenemos El Precio Bajo En Línea, most notably Venice Beach,
Nike Free Run 3.0 V5 Ext Fuego Rojo Blanco Mujeres Para Hombres Baratos, where public art walls were erected in 2007 to allow graffiti and have resulted in a drop of illegal tagging nearby. In Santa Barbara,
2012 Nike Free Run 2 Negro Púrpura Mujeres Venta Con 70% De Descuento, there is only about a block of wall space in the Funk Zone where aerosol art is tolerated (and only then with written permission), leaving plenty of kids with cans of green spray paint eyeing your white washed adobe walls as their next canvas.

"It’s extremely frustrating for us," said Detective Andy Feller,
Nike Free Run Powerlines Ii verde azul Mujeres Running Zapatos For Barato,
Nike Free Run 5.0 Tr Noir Bleu Femmes Economisez Jusqu’à 70% De Réduction, who’s in charge of the SBPD’s youth services sector,
Nike Free Run 5.0 Negro Gris Rosa Mujeres Precio Barato Calidad Cozy, which covers everything from missing persons to attempted gang homicides. And that’s in part because,
Nike Free Run 3.0 V7 ​​Luz Gris mujeres rojas Guardar Descuento Grande, as Officer Katsapis explained,
Nike Free Run Powerlines Ii Brown verde Mujeres Todo De Alta Calidad,
Nike Free Run 3.0 V3 2012 mujeres negras Nueva Colección Está Disponible, "There’s a mentality amongst taggers that it’s not vandalism,
Men Nike Free Run 3.0 V4 Dark Grey Electric Green Wolf Grey For Cheap, that it’s art." That notion is supported by the popularity of graffiti in mainstream culture as well as the rise of a multimillion dollar online aerosol art retail market that’s accessible to anyone with a credit card number. Altogether,
638471 101 Air Jordan 1 KO High OG Chicago Clearance Sale Fast Shipping, the combination leads to repeat offenses,
2014 Nike Free Run Gimnasio blancas púrpuras Mujeres Venta Zapatos Baratos,
Nike Free Run 2 2012 Gris Amarillo Mujeres Regalo Para Usted o Su Familia, little fear of the probation,
Nike Roshe Run Fb Yeezy Naranja Leopard Hombres Con Descuento 56% -78%, fines,
Nike Roshe Run Nm Breeze Negro Rojo Hombres Venta Hombres Running Zapatos, and even jail time that constitutes punishment, and a bravado that’s both dangerous (because they might go to jail) and stupid (because they aren’t afraid to show off). "One kid we arrested showed us everywhere he had tagged," said Feller. "It was like 15 locations. He had a sense of pride."

Graffiti crimes have always been on the department’s radar,
Mujeres Nike Free Run 3 azul de Tiffany Con Alta Calidad y Bajo Precio, but the spike in recent years has led to more actual prosecutions of taggers. And Feller fears more trouble down the road,
Nike Roshe Run 2014 Negro Blanco Mujeres Hombres Con Descuento Grande, as he’s noticed a rise in conflicts between tagging crews,
Mujeres Nike Free Run 3 Negro Plata Blanco Para Baratos Pero Real Zapatos, as well as between crews and gangs. Katsapis and his partner, Christopher Martinez, run into taggers on a regular basis,
Nike Roshe Run mediana Negro Volt Hombres Outlet Store Waiting For You, and report that they come from "all walks of life,
2014 Nike Free Run Gimnasio Negro Blanco Mujeres Para Auténtico Barato, all socioeconomic statuses." There was one kid from San Roque who lived in a beautiful house, said Katsapis, explaining,
Nike Free Run 5.0 V4 2012 Negro Azul Mujeres Venta Con 70% De Descuento, "[Taggers] party together,
Nike Free Run 3.0 V7 ​​púrpura Negro Mujeres Zapatos Corrientes De Venta, they know each other from school,
Nike Free Run 5.0 V4 Rosa Blanco Mujeres Con Alta Calidad y Bajo Precio, and they share a common interest in graffiti." (Repeated attempts to contact taggers for this story were entirely unsuccessful.)

And it isn’t just teenagers. Some taggers are in their mid twenties,
Women Nike Free Run 2 Black White Anthracite Outlet Online Store 2014, though they tend to follow an ethical code of sorts that includes only painting on city or abandoned property and not engaging in the "bombing" practice of scrawling as many little tags on as many places as possible or using "slaps," stickers that taggers put their names on and then post around town. "There used to be a different code," said Martinez of the older taggers’ mentality, "but it’s changing now,
Nike Free Run 4.0 2012 Red donne d’argento In vendita con prezzo scontato," and that means that private residences and even people’s vehicles have become fair game for this next generation.

Regardless of its beauty, however,
Nike Roshe Run Nm Breeze Negro Hombres Envío Libre Con Entrega Rápida,
Nike Free Run 3.0 V7 ​​Blue Sky arancione donne di colore 70% di Sconto!, in the eyes of law enforcement, graffiti is graffiti,
2012 Nike Free Run 3 Azul Plata Mujeres Con Alta Calidad y Bajo Precio, and Martinez and Katsapis frequently stop suspected or known taggers and look for paint marks on their hands and spray cans in their bags. "It’s pretty rare for us to catch them in the act,
2012 Nike Free Run 2 Rose verde Mujeres Con Más Bajo Precio Auténtico," said Martinez,
2012 Nike Free Run 2 Gris Azul Rosa Mujeres Versión Adecuado Para Usted, noting that taggers use lookouts and special whistle calls to warn each other,
2012 Nike Free Run 3.0 Blanco Gris mujeres rojas Con Calidad Auténtico, making even complicated sting attempts difficult. "It’s more common to catch them with stuff."

One of the recent tools used by the police,
Nike Roshe Run Fb Yeezy Negro Hombres Para Baratos Zapatos Auténticos, as well as the city streets team and the Downtown Parking department,
2012 Nike Free Run Tr Fit Azul Blanco Hombres Entrega Rápida a Su Puerta,
Nike Free Run 5.0 V3 2014 Plum mujeres rojas Para Barato Pero El Real, is the Graffiti Tracker,
Nike Run Balanza gratuito 2014 Negro Rosa Mujeres Comprar Con Seguridad, a camera equipped with a GPS tracking system that logs tags. When a tagger is caught,
Men Nike Free Run 2 Black White Anthracite Quilted For Cheap Mens Shoes, additional images of his moniker can be searched in the system,
Nike Free Run Balanza 2014 femmes gris rose Chaussures De Course à Vendre, which is in use in jurisdictions throughout California and beyond,
Nike Free Run 2 Drench Azul Naranja Blanco Con Alta Calidad y Bajo Precio, and then more serious charges can be brought against him. It’s only been in use for one year in Santa Barbara, but it’s already had an impact. "We’ve made some pretty big arrests,
Nike Free Run 4.0 Azul de cielo Mujeres Buena Calidad y El Envío Rápido, and it helps us put together a bigger case,
Nike Roshe Run Hombres Negro Gris Volt Ahorre Hasta Un 70% De Descuento," said Feller,
2013 Nike Free Run Líneas Azul Gris Hombres Venta Con 70% De Descuento, but he reminded that the program costs money and the department could use donations to keep it alive into the future.

If you happen to spot a guy blasting the sidewalk with a high powered water gun just after dawn on any given weekday morning,
Nike Free Run 5.0 Bleu Gris Blanc Vous Pouvez Trouver Les Dernières Style, you’re seeing the city’s top graffiti fighter,
2012 Nike Free Run 3.0 V2 Negro Gris Moda Ayuda Para Alojarse En Estilo, Mike Borrayo,
Nike Roshe Run Yeezy Negro Rojo Hombres Para Barato Zapatos Para Hombre, in action,
Nike Roshe Run Nm Breeze Negro Rojo Hombres Ayuda Para Alojarse En Estilo, and he’s already been at work for a few hours. "Anything that’s a gray or brown wall,
543390 439 Air Jordan 6 Game Royal 2014 Women Size For Sale Mens Shoes," said Borrayo,
Nike Roshe Run Dyn Fw Gray Lightcyan Mujeres Hombres Comprar Con Seguridad, whose early morning efficiency means the biggest tags are never seen by most residents,
Nike Roshe Run bleu menthe White Women Avec Prix Le Plus Bas Authentique, "we paint them."

To do so,
Nike Free Run 3.0 V4 Negro Azul Mujeres Con Alta Calidad y Bajo Precio,
Nike Roshe Run Negro Rojo Gorros Mujeres Hombres Venta Zapatos Auténticos, he drives a special $85,
Nike Free Run 2 Negro Violeta Blanco Antracita Cada Compra Que Realice,000 truck that the city purchased a few years ago, outfitted with the water blaster as well as various paints and nontoxic chemicals that Borrayo and the occasional part timers use to wipe walls clean. From July 2010 to June 2011,
318376 041 Air Jordan XX3 Black Carolina White For Cheap But Real Shoes, he did that for more than 300,000 square feet of public property (including the railroad,
Nike Free Run 5.0 V3 Purple Rose Mujeres Ahorre Hasta Un 70% De Descuento, which contracts the city for cleanup). He’s also responsible for posting notices on private properties that get tagged, as they have three days to clean up the mess or have the city do so before accruing fines; both residential and business owners complete such cleanups 99 percent of the time, and no one has yet had the city do it for them, despite more than 500 such notices going out last fiscal year alone. (To avoid tagging,
2012 Nike Free Run 5.0 V3 Negro Plata Mujeres Versión Adecuado Para Usted, Streets Manager Fulmer advised, "Don’t make it easy for people to access your building. Make it bright. Make it unfriendly.")

"The thrill is getting away with it,
308497 141 Air Jordan 4 Retro Military Blue White For Cheap Authentic, I guess,
Nike Roshe Run blancas púrpuras verdes Mujeres Running Zapatos For Barato," said Borrayo,
Nike Free Run Powerlines Ii Negro Rose Mujeres Hasta 52% De Descuento, shaking his head and explaining that,
Nike Roshe Run Hyp Qs Negro Gris Hombres Bueno Guality Y Media Precio, as a lifelong surfer,
Nike Roshe Run Fb Yeezy Negro Hombres Usted Puede Ahorrar Mucho Aquí, he’s always got his "guts and glory" in the ocean. "I see these kids tagging.

Technically,
2013 Nike Free Run 5.0 Olímpico Rosa Gris Mujeres Para Hombres Baratos,
Nike Roshe Run Carb籀n Negro Cyan Azul Malla Hombres Para Aut矇ntico Barato, Borrayo and his spitfire boss Georgia Lopez who started graffiti abatement work before it was a program and today gives out her cell phone number to repeat hotline callers are only in charge of cleaning up tagging in the city right of way,
2012 Nike Free Run 2 Gris Azul Rosa Mujeres Ayuda Para Alojarse En Estilo, save for their additional work on the railroad corridors. So the Parks Department is in charge of trees,
Nike Free Run 3.0 V4 Verde Grigio Donne Vendita casa è la scelta migliore, County Flood Control does the Mission Creek culverts ("It’s kind of an endless job," said Water Resources Deputy Director Tom Fayram), utility companies handle their boxes,
2012 Nike Free Run 3.0 V2 Negro Gris Moda Para Barato Zapatos Para Hombre, Caltrans does specific highway work, and so forth. A more centralized strategy might make sense,
Nike Free Run 3.0 V4 Negro Gimnasio Rojo lobo gris Todo De Alta Calidad, but in the meantime, Lopez and Borrayo have become the de facto clearinghouse,
Azul Nike Roshe Run Gris Luz Malla Hombres Venta Con 70% De Descuento,
Nike Roshe Run Verde Blanco Negro Malla Hombres Nosotros Outlet Store, and regularly alert other agencies when their work is needed. But Fulmer, their supervisor,
Men Nike Free Run 2 Black White Green For Sale Online With Cheap Price, also admitted,
Nike Roshe Run Fb Yeezy verdes Mujeres Leopard Aquí Sería Su Mejor Opción, "We’ll sometimes go over our jurisdiction. We’ll clean up extra areas."

Despite the fact that Borrayo often visits the same graffiti spot multiple times in a week,
Nike Free Run 3.0 2012 Gris Rosa Mujeres Con Alta Calidad y Bajo Precio, painting the same color paint over yet another familiar moniker,
Nike Free Run 5.0 Tr blanc rose Femmes Nouvelle Collection Est Disponible, he remains upbeat about his work. "It’s job security,
Nike Free Run 3.0 V4 gris púrpura Mujeres Con Alta Calidad y Bajo Precio," he said. "I love my job. I love making Santa Barbara look good." Plus,
Nike Roshe Run mediana Negro Volt Hombres Ayuda Para Alojarse En Estilo, he’s happy to see the support of the community volunteers. "I’m proud of this city,
Wmns Nike Free Run 3.0 V5 2014 mujeres negras rojas Precio Al Por Menor," he explained,
Nike Free Run 5.0 V4 2012 Grigio Blu Donne Nuova Collezione è disponibile, before showing off a particularly thick but hidden wall of graffiti in the Las Positas area that’s only cleaned up once or twice a year. "That’s what Santa Barbara would look like if you didn’t have concerned citizens."

On a recent morning down at the corner of Milpas and Indio Muerto streets near the railroad tracks and freeway off ramp, Sebastian Aldana Jr. and a couple associates were pulling weeds, picking up trash,
Nike Roshe Run Gris Verde Manzana Malla Hombres Guardar Descuento Grande,
Nike Free Run 3.0 V7 ​​Gris oscuro mujeres rojas Nosotros Outlet Store, and wiping graffiti off of utility boxes and power poles. It’s something Aldana,
Nike Free Run 3.0 V7 ​​Gris oscuro mujeres rojas Guardar Descuento Grande, a former painter turned caterer turned City Council candidate, does almost every week around the Eastside,
Nike Roshe Run Hommes royale total d’Orange matelassé À Vendre Authentique, where he lives on East Cota Street (though he was raised on the Westside). He’s part of Looking Good Santa Barbara’s Adopt A Block program,
Mujeres Nike Free Run 3 Total Naranja Plata Platino Volt Outlet En Venta, in which the city gives volunteers the tools they need to remove graffiti and pick up litter around their neighborhoods.

"I just got tired of seeing my neighborhood filthy. It’s okay to live in an old part of town, but it doesn’t have to be dirty," said Aldana,
Nike Run Balanza gratuito 2014 Plum mujeres rojas Nosotros Outlet Store, who’s seen his work spark others to do the same. "If I keep my block clean,
Nike Free Run 3.0 V2 2012 Mujeres Blanco Gris Venta Zapatos Para Hombre, and the next guy keeps his block clean It’s one block at a time."

Looking Good is run by the city’s Lorraine Cruz Carpenter, who reports that 180 Santa Barbara residents and business owners have signed up for the program so far and received the bucketful of supplies in return. "It’s a battle," she explained. "We feel that quick cleanup is one of the ways to resolve the issue or at least work toward getting rid of graffiti,
2012 Nike Free Run 2 Negro Blanco Mujeres Se Venden Con El Precio Bajo, and that’s what our volunteers do. A lot of them stay right on top of it."

That includes neighborhoods from the Lower Westside (where resident Jaime Limon leads the work) and West Downtown (home to another Adopt A Block leader turned City Council candidate Sharon Byrne) to the Upper Eastside, where Santa Barbara City College trustee Joan Livingston hopes to enlist one member per block. "Volunteers have enthusiastically stepped forward, and we now have close to 50 percent of our blocks covered," said Livingston, who said the tools provided by the city are effective and easy to use. "This activity encourages us to be the eyes and ears of our neighborhood."

Enhancing the fight against graffiti is the Santa Barbara Youth Art Alliance,
2012 Nike Free Run 2 Noir, which began about five years ago as a mentoring program to work on murals around town, including the ones at Ortega Park and other former graffiti hotspots on the Eastside. "Since the murals were installed,
2012 Nike Free Run Tr Fit Azul Hombres Amarillo Para Auténtico Barato, there have been no incidents of graffiti vandalism at those locations,
Nike Roshe Run Dyn Fw lightGray Mujeres Hombres Hasta 52% De Descuento, saving the city hundreds of dollars in repairs,
2012 Nike Free Run Tr Fit Azul Blanco Hombres Para Usted Al Mejor Precio," said program director Ricardo Venegas.

Then, in October 2010, the alliance kicked off the Milpas Graffiti Abatement Project to even more effect and applause. "Many business owners reported up to an 80 percent reduction in graffiti along Milpas from Canon Perdido to Cabrillo Boulevard,
Nike Free Run 3.0 V3 2012 femmes noires Pour Pas Cher Mais Le Real Hommes,
Nike Free Run Powerlines Ii verde azul Mujeres Liquidación Envío Rápido," explained Venegas,
2012 Nike Free Run 2 Bleu Gris Blanc Hommes Livraison Rapide à Votre Porte, who said the project ended in June but will likely be rekindled this month. "Our program makes an economic impact across the board because it takes youth off the streets and very effectively engages them in an art mentoring program that is both creative and relevant to their experience. The alliance helps to reduce and minimize all forms of vandalism,
2014 Nike Free Run Gimnasio Negro Blanco Mujeres Con Descuento Grande, violence, and youth delinquency."

With school back in session, everyone expects graffiti in Santa Barbara to start rising once again, but people like Aldana aren’t willing to give up in this endless war. "We’re gonna win,
Nike Free Run 3.0 V5 Ext Todos Orange Mujeres Disfrute De Más Descuento," said Aldana. "You just can’t throw in the towel."

But in this back and forth battle involving cops,
136029 011 Air Jordan 15 Original Flint Grey White At Low Price 55 Off, city workers,
Nike Free Run 5.0 V3 Blanco Verde Mujeres Orange Tienda Outlet On Sale, and hundreds of volunteers, is Santa Barbara missing an opportunity to channel possibly productive youthful energy? Laura Inks thinks so, and she would know,
Nike Free Run Balanza 2014 Donne Nero Rosa Negozio all’ingrosso in linea, having started the only tolerated graffiti wall in Santa Barbara, two half blocks in the Funk Zone on Mason and Helena streets where artists can work when given permission to do so.

"A guy was out there every single day painting the green fence green again because there was tagging,
Nike Free Run 2 Azul Blanco acolchado amarillo Precio Barato Calidad Cozy," said Inks,
Nike Free Run 5.0 Tr azul claro blanco Mujeres Outlet Tienda Online 2014, who got permission for the ongoing and changing outdoor exhibit (now called Artists Making a Street Scene) from Mountain Funding,
2014 Nike Free Run Gimnasio Blancas Mujeres Negras Para Hombres Baratos, the property owners of the long stalled La Entrada project. "Since we put the project up,
Nike Roshe Run sabbia di colore Rosso Prezzo poco costoso di qualità Cozy, the graffiti around there virtually stopped." And other cities are beginning to take note, as well this week, Inks gave a tour of the Funk Zone to the American Planning Association’s California Chapter, which is having its annual meeting in Santa Barbara.

Inks,
Nike Roshe Run Noir Vert Hommes Avec Une Qualité Supérieure Et à Bas Prix, who is the director of the Jurkowitz Center for Arts Education at the Granada Theatre, believes that the walls also offer a better future for the kids involved. "You can’t really corral this group of kids, although they do love to paint and have their stuff seen. It’s motivation to have them save their paint,
Nike Free Run 2 Negro Blanco Antracita acolchado Comprar Con Seguridad,
2012 Nike Free Run 3.0 V3 Gris Negro Mujeres Precio Barato Calidad Cozy, so it’s not going on buildings or underpasses," she explained. "That was my goal initially: to get them off the streets and onto canvasses and boards, and make them see that they can sell it and make a living instead of a rap sheet."
