Including but not limited to litter and garbage on the streets. The problem people seem blissfully unaware of this.

If you mean me personally, I never give up - never would. Not my nature, and it does create some positive energy to do something.

Litter and garbage is all over this city regardless of the area. New Yorkers in general are dirty people that treat their own city as a trash can.

And I except that. And now that all the undesirables were displaced to the Bronx, its now time to shipped them elsewhere. Its all a game of hot potato. The Bronx has held the hot potato for the past 60 years while the surrounding boroughs improved. Not its time for the hot potato to be given to someone else.

And you wonder why I say you hate the poor because this is how you want to treat the poor....I know, I know, you say ghetto people, I know. But the truth is all poor people are effected by this, not just the ghetto people you worry about.

Again, maybe you should of bought in a better neighborhood...then you wouldn't have to whine about the poor people and wish for them to be shipped elsewhere.

And by affordable, I mean housing that should be affordable for families making between 35-90k. I'm irked I can't live in those new 42nd Street towers because I don't make less than 24k or more than 124k. What about the rest of us....
Middle income in New York City is low income to poverty level. The bad ole days of NYC of old are long long, and it needs to stay that way. Gentrification is a good thing. If ya don't like it, then move.

Litter and garbage proliferate in places like Harlem. This is not the case to such an extent in other areas.
