Add metastasizing levels of graffiti to the disorders proliferating in these final months of Mayor Bill de Blasio\u2019s rule.<\/p>\n

As Wednesday\u2019s Post reported, Soho residents and merchants are up in arms over the plague of tags, fearing \u201cthe spray-painted eyesores are turning the upscale enclave into a \u2018junkier,\u2019 down-market mess.\u201d The vandals have turned entire blocks into \u201cart\u201d canvases, with zero effective response from the city.<\/p>\n

Which has opened the door to outright hate: A black-owned art gallery whose current show commemorates the 1921 Tulsa massacre has now been tagged three times in a week.<\/p>\n

And it\u2019s spreading to other neighborhoods, too: The West Village is also seeing rampant graffiti, on top of overflowing rubbish that the Sanitation Department can\u2019t seem to handle.<\/p>\n

The mayor\u2019s response is that his $234 million City Cleanup Corps will get around to it \u2014 though not until it\u2019s up and running sometime this summer. Since he sees the CCC as his last \u201ctransformative\u201d achievement, he app<\/a>arently doesn\u2019t want the city workers already paid to handle this stuff to work on it now.<\/p>\n

Mayoral candidate Eric Adams has a far better understanding of the stakes: \u201cIgnoring defacements and other quality-of-life violations only allows lawlessness to spread, and we can\u2019t let that happen,\u201d he told The Post. \u201cWe can\u2019t go back to the \u201970s and \u201980s when the graffiti assault was the norm.\u201d<\/p>\n

Add this to the out-of-control homeless, abusive squeegee men and the junkies\u2019 takeover of Washington Square Park as signs that City Hall is now asleep at the switch, with a mayor blaming all ills on the pandemic rather than doing his job.<\/p>\n

Jan. 1 can\u2019t come soon enough.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
