A lot of people get mad at me when I tell them the truth about the reason for the crime and litter that plauges Mt Airy these days but I wont stop. If you follow the time line of the demolition of the cities large public housing complexes and the transplant of their inhabitants as section 8 renters in established working class neighborhoods you will clearly see the drastic change in crime , burglary , school violence , and trash on the streets everywhere. If you know how life in public housing is you know the conditions are terrible and the trash is eventually picked up by housing authority workers, in our neighborhoods we have to pick up the trash. Its a terrible thing but in truth we are the blame we are paying for ignoring the fact that most or all of our social programs dont help and actually depress those who are in need and now they are staring us in the face while politicians smile and get richer.

No, the problems are not fixed. Large trash cans should be in place and the public needs education about the importance of keeping the city clean, healthy, beautiful, and safe.

I pick up trash almost every day and yet there's always more trash to replace it. Perhaps signs posted on subways, buses, and trolleys educating the public about the importance of clean, beautiful streets would be helpful. Transit riders are forbidden to eat and drink on public transit. Instead they eat and drink on the streets and throw their trash on the ground. Greater efforts should be taken to educate the public against littering on mass media, in schools, neighborhood associations, houses of worship, everywhere possible.

This problem has not gone away. There is trash all up and down Stenton Avenue especially near bus sops. The placement of big belly trash cans would probably help the problem but a city wide program to discourage people from littering is definitely needed.

The problem has not been resolved. The placement of Big Belly trash cans along Stenton Avenue would help alleviate some of the problems.
