[quote=Anonymous]I think DC is really beautiful. I love the green carpet of foliage and the efforts made to improve city wide facilities like parks and recs by Fenty (that's the one thing I'll concede him). But it is filthy. And filthiness can be addressed by policies and systems. Mandated toilet paper covers for public restrooms is a policy. The city shoveling the sidewalks by its own grassy strips and public land (they lecture us but never take care of their own areas) is a policy. The city landscaping or adding flower baskets etc is a policy. Knowing that gum builds up in heavily trafficked areas and having a plan (whether a partnership with businesses or the city investing in some cleaning machines) is a policy. Combatting those urine smells is a policy. All of these are potential areas of employment as well-especially considering what we spend on social services, these could be avenues for job training and beginner salaried positions. When you travel in a 'clean' city it is such a pleasure. Given what we pay in taxes in DC, I think it could be a cleaner city with good administration.[/quote]
