Ad nauseum.
I sweep an entire block by hand broom myself, including pulling weeds from the gutters.
No one else does. Why should I have to look at mess everywhere.
Also, it's not the job of private citizens to maintain the street, which is a PUBLIC right of way.
You think it's funny. You know how many middle to upper middle to high income people look around their surroundings in the city periodically say, why the f*ck am I putting up with this shit? They leave and it costs the city far more than providing the basic services those tax payers deserve.
My parent's middle income suburb has street sweeping, leaf pickup etc. All of these services are provided in the taxes they already pay. And guess what? It doesn't cost that much to provide because it's maintained. Probably 1 crew of 2-3 guys that do it every day 250 days a year. The deferred maintenance problems it prevents are incalculable.
The city is a mess. It's finances are relatively in order and it's time to do something about it.
Or, just continue to bleed middle and upper income people. Have fun with that.
