People who grew up in sheltered suburban HOA hells move to urban cities and freak out whenever they see some litter or homeless people, or god forbid graffiti! See some tents or needles on the sidewalk? oh no it's literally the apocalypse, call Fox News! lol. As climate change worsens and overpopulation continues, we will see more trash on the streets, more pollution, more homeless, that's just the reality of our world. Want to have a cleaner environment? then start being eco conscious and promote high density affordable housing.
Tents, needles and feces on the sidewalk is not ok, when did many start normalizing and accepting this? You can’t raise kids around that, hell you wouldn’t walk your dog around that.

Here in the United States, places with high density affordable housing (also known as housing projects) tend to be the dirtiest places, as well as the most dangerous. Give me clean, sheltered suburbia any day.

This is because of bad policy. Period. How much do these cities/towns spend on police, verses agents in the public sector, public housing (building, maintaining AND securing). I guarantee if cities invested in people as much as they do police, they wouldn't feel the need to implement $100 BILLION police budgets. Fleeing to suburbia doesn't nothing to alleviate a regions problems and helps push the narrative that affordable, sustainable, walkable communities = Crime. NO. Bad policies, over policing, lack of resources = crime, and the stuff we deal with is nothing more than a result of said bad policies.
The major highways and lower class urban streets are trash dumps. It's unbelievable how dirty America has become in two years.
At least in Austin and other Texas cities, the trashy situation has been building up over at least the last five years or so, maybe longer. Even our rural highways have become really trashed out. The highway department tells me that litter pickup budgets are so small that there isn't enough funding to hire enough contractors to keep things clean. This is a state budgeting problem. Within the cities, the city budgets are extremely tight as well. It's not just litter pickup, but roadway repairs, mowing, all sorts of city services.
