Toronto Police Service... They seriously went downhill in terms of enforcement in my perception when Saunders became Chief and have not recovered.Totally agree. The amount of tagging in this city is gross. Just looks awful and trashy.
There is ZERO enforcement. The City doesn't care at all (unless it's hate speech/symbols.)
I was standing next to a police officer once as someone was tagging a bridge 50 feet away. I said, "Oh! Officer look, he's vandalizing that bridge right over there!" And the officer looked and said, "Call 311."
Argh.

I don't mind some of it (especially the stuff I consider artistic), but there's definitely a lot of crappy bubble letter tags now (e.g. on a couple of nearby storefronts, and covering a local commissioned "wing" art).

Tagging for the sake of tagging is (IMHO) not art, and not desirable.
