why are you reporting it if you don't want them to paint it out???

Paint is not a good idea here as it make for a decent surface to graffiti again... it's a much better practice to have the City wash it off instead. So that is why I made the request to not paint.

Understood.

Best to state 'Please power wash' like they do Downtown 😉😉
