[quote=Anonymous]Actually, re: littering, it is more prevalent in low income neighborhoods due to a simple lack of public trash cans. The next time you are in, for instance, old town Alexandria...note how clean it is, and how many public trashcans. Then go to del ray ( the non gentrified part) and note the difference.   I know this as a former resident of a low income neighborhood. I got tired of trash in my yard and after bitching to a few neighbors learned that there used to be public trashcans in said neighborhood at every bus stop, on many street corners, etc. But people put so much trash in the cans that they were always overflowing with trash people clearly should have put in their trash at home, dumpster in apartment complex, etc. The county got tired of paying it's employees to always pick up people's trash so removed the trashcans. As to why people didn't use trash service at home, I don't know why...unnecessary expense or laziness are two opinions I heard.

As a side note, I highly encourage all white liberal yuppies (like myself I will admit) to expose yourself to situations and places and people that give you a world view outside of one in which only poor people jaywalk and someone who can't feed their kids gives a shit if it's organic.[/quote]
