I can assume that property value will go down and it would be harder to sell or rent out but can some one tell me where i can find statistics that show me this.

Graffiti tagging is a crime that broadcasts gang related turf wars, drug activity and hate. Not only is it ugly, graffiti vandalism and delinquency is costly. More than $15 billion per year is spent by our state and local governments to counteract graffiti tagging and property damage. Neighborhoods marked with graffiti tagging are also prone to other forms of crime and delinquency because it promotes the idea that no one cares.
Graffiti's visual pollution jeopardizes the quality of life in our communities. Tagging reduces property values (the National Association of Realtors reports that graffiti vandalism can cause properly values to decrease by 15%), causes businesses to lose their customers as they become too fearful to shop in the area, and increases gang activity as the neighborhood decays.

It depends on what type of graffiti it is! If its all hate and gang garbage, YEH!No one wants that!
Downtown Toronto Canada some business owners designated their alleyway walls for graffiti 'artists'. It is very successful. They had a formal 'opening' you could say where graffiti artists were invited. I think it was one wall outside a club at the time, but it has spread.
Have you ever seen the Canadian show The Mercer Report ?
When Rick does his moving monologue rant piece he, of late, has been walking through these allies as his backdrop. You might catch a glimpse on his website I am not sure.
Wonderful solutions come from open minds!
