Graffiti leaving its mark on Lea Hill

Published 5:54 pm Wednesday, June 2, 2010

Thanks for your recent article on graffiti. As a longtime resident of the Lea Hill area, the graffiti problem has escalated to the point that I want out of the area.

The “Bridges” abandoned development site is a magnet. But at the 124th/304th roundabout? There sits a beautiful old house that I look at every day. Now, it is covered in graffiti.

Please continue bringing this in the open, since most people think it’s harmless. My house won’t sell for what it’s worth due to the gang-infested area.

We never had this problem until the new high school opened. Wondering about the connection there, since most of the sites are across the street or just down the street from it.

I think the possibility of cameras in these areas might deter people.
