I live in a “ham friendly” HOA on the NW side of San Antonio, TX, and our neighbors are very active in the community fighting graffiti and other common problems. We’ve got our own 24/7 private security guards that cruise the neighborhoods (all 7 subdivisions, about 5,000 properties) all hours of the day and night, plus keeping an eye on our 2 swimming pools and other facilities. The Great Northwest Community Improvement Association has nearly 21,000 residents in 7 subdivisions, 4,959 properties, non-gated, inside the city limits of San Antonio.
Yesterday, Saturday, 7/25, they held a “paint drive” to collect latex paint for the city. The city then mixes and redistributes the paint free to folks fighting graffiti in their neighborhoods.
Here is a short video about their efforts…
