Yeah but still wayyyyyy cleaner than LA, SD, Portland OR .. and especially SF and Seattle.
My coworker was just in Seattle and he hated it and one of the primary reasons was the hoards of trash out there
I used to glorify the west coast, but now Im coming to terms with reality
Ironically Mayor Wujust posted about Boston hiring people as street sweepers and to clean up graffiti. Naturally she made sure to get herself photographed painting over graffiti.

Good. But point was more or less, the West Coast cities crusty compared to East Coast cities. I even find Philadelphia to be sparkling in comparison
I personally think the cleanest city over 50k I have been to is Hoboken. I know I boost this alot but for its density. My god.
*in the northeast
Oh stop it. LoL. New York and Philadelphia are not noticeably cleaner than the west coast, especially New York. Youre just being petty at this point, not that I mind.

New York seemed cleaner than LA and cleaner than Philadelphia to me.
I think Manhattan takes the filthier award. Philadelphia (in the stable and desirable sections) is decently clean, but Manhattan (and parts of Brooklyn) are filthy and worse now than pre-Covid).
Funny timing, my company's London based business development team in touring our US offices. They started in Texas and worked their way East. They went out of their way to say they love New York but the city is horribly filthy. They had good things to say about DC and Boston cleanliness, and said Philadelphia was normal dirtiness for an American city (whatever that means, lol). This is just their judgment from the downtown areas.
I still say Chicago is the "cleanest" big city. LA felt fine this summer, San Fran is just grimy in general these days.
Of course NYC is going to be dirtier than any other US city. The street level action in terms of bars, restaurants, street merchants, performers, subway stations, broadway, commuters, mass transit, pedestrians, etc all boxed into a tight, cavernous space will create that and is unparalleled in this country. On sheer numbers alone this should not come as a surprise at all. NYC has always been this way.
