keeping the neighborhood watch busy

"Members of the Oakland Hills Community Neighborhood Watch say they're determined to wipe it out for good. They say everytime (sic) graffiti goes up they plan to take it down."
from: Community Takes Stand Against Graffiti, Memphis Eyewitness News

Sometimes fighting graffiti can be like shoveling water.

I would like to suggest a more pro-active approach:
- catch the graffiti artists and make them clean up graffiti
- hire graffiti artists to create a mural where ever the problem occurs most frequent
- license the graffiti artists and public spaces where they can write
