I watched an excerpt from 60 minutes last night and a guy was delivering food and clothes/blankets/etc to homeless people somewhere. Ohio? I don't know. There was a young pregnant woman living in a tent (until someone cut it up)... Anyway, what I noticed on the show and nearly any lower income neighbourhood that I've driven through....there was trash everywhere! I've never understood that. There is no pride in ownership. Or, pride in one's home. It drives me nuts. So, someone drives past your house and lobs a beer bottle at you while you're mowing the grass (true story)...pick it up and recycle it. Actually, it shattered so...but pick it up. Leaving it there serves no purpose! They do it again...pick it up again. Don't just live in a pile of shit. The media loves to show pictures of destitute people living in squalor. I understand the propaganda but I don't understand the people. Why live in filth? Disadvantaged is one thing. Being lazy is another.

Lack of private ownership. But also addiction and other issues of people not taking any responsibility.
In poor areas, nobody living there owns the land or property so it's never their "responsibility" to clean it up. Also, the police don't care to enforce littering laws there because it's too big an issue. And otherwise, people have no concern for their community and generally moreso a disdain for the property owners. They really just don't realize that in trying to fuck over the property owners, they are just fucking over themselves.
