    @mnon
    PRIDE?
    look at all the rash along the roads, drive down some of these old streets and look at the filth that lies aroynd their homes.
    Maybe code enforcement should go in after these pickups and issue citations to the unkept yards

    why are we needing to always clean up these areas? The people there can’t keep up with it after the community does it? Or do they just not care? I seriously would like to know, because it seems like a waste of resources that we keep having community clean-up days in these areas. Seems like people would have a little pride and of they don’t let them live in their garbage.
