[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Liberal cities need to consult Singapore to fix the homeless and drug problem [/quote]

The reason Singapore is so clean is that they import foreign workers from places like India and Bangladesh to be professional street cleaners.  [b]It is a huge issue when the cleaners aren’t available in an estate (neighborhood) and everyone can see how much trash and nastiness the cleaners take care of each day.

The social safety net is also quite robust. And there are a lot of well-enforced rules and taxes.[/quote]

I'm an expat and have lived in Singapore for the past few years, and the ONLY part of Singapore where I have EVER seen "trash and nastiness" is Little India.  The people who live there seem to have looked around at the rest of Singapore, noted the clean streets and green, lush grassy areas and public spaces, then collectively decided to reject standards of cleanliness en masse. After a festival or weekend night it's a mess.  It's baffling to me that people would decide to live that way when everywhere else in Singapore is so pristine.  [/quote]

You need to head to Yishun when the people on Stomp are complaining about the cleaners slacking.  It’s a different world from Orchard.[/quote]
