Complaints about city mess are on the rise
Complaints to 311 about illegally dumped trash are on the rise and the environmental spokesman quoted here talks about a lack of civic responsibility. Nobody links the tendency to the rise in renovictions. If you’re thrown out of your apartment, you’re bound to have a certain amount of irreducible junk to get rid of. You may chuck it out, or the landlord might have to – either way, it ends up on the street.

Also airbnbers tossing out their trash (as per instructions) whenever. That said, comparing 2023 to 2022 and 2021 without acknowledging the pandemic is fishy. What did 2019 look like?

Good point about the Airbnb people.

There’s also reduced garbage pickup in many areas.
