	Eyesores can blight local areas, affecting moral, inward investment and property prices, and encouraging anti-social behaviour such as fly tipping and graffiti that make the problem worse. Local authorities and national governments sometimes seek to improve or remove eyesores, sometimes as part of a wider gentrification strategy. This may take place for example if there is a high-profile project requiring a large amount of investment in an area, such as the Olympic Games.
