Hockers Chicken Bones

Hey gang!

I'm new to the board and feel like I found an oasis for being able to find some solutions, peace, and insight into the conditions, nature, and future of the Flatbush area! Thanks for being here.

My first question is:

Why does nearly every person have to spit huge hockers CONSTANTLY all over the sidewalk? It's like a mine field! It's so disgusting. I've never lived in another 'hood where people do this to this extent.

My next question is:

Are there any programs in place to help dissuade the neighborhood inhabitants from throwing down their trash and chicken bones with complete disregard? I'm amazed at the active participation in making the neighborhood as trashed as possible.

These questions may seem rhetorical or just to make a point, but they are not. I am really searching for an understanding and/or a means of intervention to make the neighborhood a better place. I want to confront or say something to someone who is so openly littering and spitting, which are both illegal, but I only tried this once and it did not go well. There seems to be a serious local pride in living in trash.

Is this something we just have to accept if we want to live in Flatbush area?

Thanks!
