After a pandemic pause in enforcing San Francisco graffiti removal laws, city officials and volunteer groups are looking to clean up the mess.

"You have to have passion for it, the neighborhood, the people the community, just like we feel about Chinatown," Lowe told KPIX5. He's a member of the group United Peace Collaborative. They've concentrated their cleanup efforts in Chinatown but are branching out to other commercial corridors.

Leanna Louie is the founder of UPC. She's also running for District Four supervisor. "It's important because we have to let people know that we love our city and we want to protect it. Graffiti is the gateway to crime. When you see graffiti - you see that hey, these people don't even care about the community," she said.
