trash EVERYWHERE in the district/a lot of it is generated by homeless tearing open EVERY bag they see on every street;and just pulling contents out and apart(most if not all do not have any connection to mission dist.;except to lay on the sidewalks drunk;shopping carts full of garbage and cans)
The Mission has lots of guys who pick through the trash on trash day. Some are careful not to spill; some aren’t. Where they live and who they are is obscure. But also, residents just put bags of trash around rather than disposing of it properly. And don’t worry about trash in front of their homes. And just tirar basura as a matter of course, as if it were just a part of their culture. Too bad.
Can someone write about the fire on Bartlett Street last night, opposite the library?
I feel sad watching the nonchalance of so many people as they trash their own neighborhood.
