Union Streeet- filthy

I live on Union btwn 7th and 8th, and most of the garbage that floats up and down the street seems to come from a few houses that don't cover up their garbage and recycling properly. A few houses tend to leave their junk out on the sidewalk, stuff that the garbage trucks wouldn't pickup - like unrolled up piles of carpet, broken furniture, and other crap.

i agree with this part of your statement,
however i think the blame lies primarily
in certain people simply being lazy inconsiderate self centered assholes.

volume shmolume,
some guy who throws their coffee cup in the street every day
is not the result of the metric tonnage being shipped out.

its because the dudes an asshole.

I'm on 9th and Sanitation keeps it pretty clear... of human waste. The dog droppings are out of control.

Dog droppings are human waste. It is left there by dog owners, not dogs.

Hey we're in a recession and you expect garbage cans?

Please.

It's true. I once saw a dog owner taking a dump on 7th Ave between 5th and 6th street.
