[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I cleaned up our block regularly when I lived in the city. Now that we're in the boring burbs, it's a non-issue.[/quote]

Depends where you live in the city. NW DC is far cleaner than the rest. You don't see tons of litter in Kent.[/quote]

I was in NWDC, but the high-density part. I think you'll find it anyplace that's a mix of commercial/residential, no matter which quadrant.[/quote]

No actually, you really don't.  Huge swaths of Ward 3 and parts of Ward 2 that are a quick 2-3 block walk to commerce on Connecticut / Wisconsin / Mass do not have litter.

The strictly commercial sections _previously_ had no litter, either, but there has been a small uptick where there are buildings now comprised of formerly unhoused voucher recipients on bits of Conn. and Wisc.  But still very little. [/quote]

I think those commercial areas just have a lot of privately funded clean up. The stores pay for it because it’s important to their business. There may well also be less litter there than other areas, but I think any public commercial zone that seems really clean is getting cleaned a lot. Litter picked up, sidewalks washed, etc. [/quote]

What point are you trying to make? Whether the stores are paying or having staff do it, so be it. It makes a world of difference on the neighborhood to have store owners who care. Most store/land owners do not give a shit, which drags down an entire neighborhood.[/quote]
DP, but I think the point that the pp is trying to make is that the presence or absence of litter has less to do with the quality and concerns of the neighbors, but more about the commercial property owners’ efforts. People are telling OP to move because litter indicates a lack of respect of her neighbors, but maybe that is irrelevant to the litter.[/quote]
