The natives have a bad habit of throwing out trash wherever and whenever they feel like. Besides the obvious sanitary problems clogged drains exacerbate flooding.
Remember the same idiots that want to solve "climate change" can't even disposed of trash.

Philly’s trash problem?
Are they talking about people in North Philly and Kensington?...

At one time the response would have been just Kensington/Port Richmond...now we have a long list of neighborhoods to choose from...sadly.

"The natives have a bad habit of throwing out trash wherever and whenever they feel like." You must understand that this is an ancient tradition practiced in their native homeland.
This old tradition is carefully passed on generation after generation, father to son, mother to daughter. When you see empty 40s and empty packs of Newports and Kools, you can be sure you are treading on sacred ground.

Ok so this is not a Philadelphia related post. I live on a corner plot mixed residential area of suburban Tx. I’m forever picking up trash off my property. Pisses me off bigtime. Last month I found a pizza box on my lawn with a remaining slice inside. The two legged trashers who discard their garbage reveal that they are low class scums. No shortage of them either.

So you want to know what a sanctuary city looks like, and how it operates.

I live in southern NH on a rural road connect two towns.
I pick up trash on the side of the road all the time.
Some flies out of the back of pickups inadvertently.
Some is from habitual offenders. For example, I find Miller Lite cans all the time. Probably from the same guy. I also find Tito's vodka bottles. Not nips, .5 liter and .75 liter bottles. In the spring after the snow melts is the worst. Last spring I filled the bucket of my tractor with roadside trash in about a mile stretch. So, scum bags are everywhere.

After Sandy I visited places in NYC that got cleaner after the flood waters swept through.
For Philly, that is their street cleaning program

Do you find drugged out zombies living under tarps on your sidewalk?
Do people randomly try to stab you for being white?
Do women walking around offer BJ’s for drugs or alcohol?
Philly isn’t New Hampshire.
I do remember reading some years ago that NH consumes the most alcohol per person in the US.

Philly really is exceptionally nasty as far as trash (from myriad small pieces up to junked cars just left on the side of the road). Some of the worst areas I’ve been through lately are on Broad St, near Temple University, the “can & bottle collectors” go from bag to bag, ripping them open to get what they want and the rest just pours out and blows or is dragged all over the place. And it’s not unusual to see 2 or 3 weeks worth of garbage piled up these days; since pretty much no one is working (unemployment bennies still holding out) so there are no crews to collect it.
