Why can’t we have a clean city? It’s a problem that has perplexed generations of mayors in Baltimore. Call it the perpetual trash nemesis.
Yet, here we are again in a mess of a city. Food containers, balled up clothes, paper, banana peels, plastic bags and tons of other pieces of litter line the shoulders of roads, pile up in alleys and are strewn across fields and yards. Not only is it unsightly and contributes to a rodent problem, but it can create a glum and gloomy feel in a time when the city is already facing self-esteem issues because of high crime

That’s not way to talk about a city’s population.
Wonder who threw it all there? It’s a mystery, I tell ya.
It’s racist to talk about it.
Can’t even solve a simple problem like removing trash but I be the same people get voted into office year after year after year by promising that will solve problems like removing trash. And they give themselves raises year after year after year on the grounds that that is the only way to attract people who are knowledgeable enough to solve problems like removing trash.
Piling on!
Ha!
Baltimore’s Perpetual Trash Problem...
....is called “democrats”...
14 Baltimore neighborhoods have lower life expectancies than North Korea
The Washington Post is racist

IF, or When, the urban black population ever wakes up to the slavery they’re held in, there should be a massive walkaway event, but I’m not holding my breath.
However, bringing issues up like this is a start to an awakening....hopefully.
If this post is racist, I really don’t care.
“...But a cultural shift in the city needs to take place if Baltimore is to become home to clean streets and alleys. A change where people say it’s not OK to throw that hamburger wrapper out of my window because I have pride in my city....”

Good idea, Baltimore Sun. Ever been to Germany and walked around? Just exchange populations between these Baltimore neighborhoods and some random German neighborhoods.
The Baltimore neighborhoods will quickly be cleaned up and become neat and tidy. The German neighborhoods will very rapidly go in the opposite direction. Hell, that’s probably what Germany’s current “leaders” want anyway.

Na, it’s called the residents. The City removes trash quite well. It’s the residents in some parts that throw it out windows, fill alleyways with junk, put it in vacant buildings, dump it all over the street. It would take an army of street sweeps to find and haul all that away.
The trash is largely on two legs and it is going to take draconian solutions that no Rat Administration is willing to implement.
It's because the people who live there won't clean it up. It's not that they can't clean it up, it's that they won't clean it up.
This is not limited to Baltimore or even to big cities. Many rural areas are like that too.
Poor doesn't have to mean dirty.
Brilliant! Not even photoshopped. I love it. But NOOOOOO...we’re supposed to think it’s a “vibrant” and wonderful city. *eye roll*
Baltimore may be the current worst example, but it is not unique. New York City and San Francisco and LA are all filthy. People think nothing of dumping their trash anywhere.
Over the past month, maybe because of a new mayor in town, I've noticed an increase in trash. More specifically, abandoned and stripped cars, left for days in same spot. Reminds me of New York City, just on a smaller scale.
Again, back to parents and children. Failure to teach respect, discipline, and all with regards to trash leads to filthy communities.
