Graffiti in Greenpoint has been declared an "epidemic," and "generational," by Jeff Mann, the president of the neighborhood's Chamber of Commerce. He claims to have spent over $25,000 since November in an effort to paint over the aerosol art, which, unfortunately for him, is a renewable resource. Mann also has some theories about where all it's all coming from. "People from the Midwest come here just to do graffiti. I've heard that." Get off Greenpoint's lawn, you hooligans!
