Reply to what are the causes of litter? by Top_Ad5385
Go to the place and see how far you have to walk to throw out your trash. Many places outside of Downtown, there isn’t a public use trash can for several blocks. Trash bags get ripped apart by animals or cheap bags just shred on their own. Additionally, Sanitation is a large contributor. Either loose trash left behind or trash escaping from old trucks with a poor seal. And then there are drivers who throw their food wrappers and drink cups out the window or dump them in a parking lot

There was a titanic fight due to the bike path as the Purple Line largely parallels a rail trail bike path. NIMBY’s used bicyclists to oppose the project. So they are being extra careful to not impede cyclists.

Soccer is ever increasingly popular, especially because of the Women’s World Cup wins and the growing Hispanic/Latino population

Rule of thumb is to multiply the Monthly rent by 40 to calculate what is affordable at your annual salary. HUD defines it as being affordable at 30% of your salary and multiplying by 40 makes the math easy

nj.com increasingly sucks. Tons of clickbait articles, paywalls, and relentless attempts to redirect to scam sites. In the era of social media and so many accessible news sites, it’s extremely expensive and unnecessary to pay for each of them.

That meter reading is fucked! 99,630 kw/h would run our mid-size house for like 8 years. Have them reread that meter.

If you’re tearing it down for a big new building or something that actually benefits the neighborhood, you have a point. But the church wants to flatten these for a “prayer garden”. Quit hollowing out all the neighborhoods for empty space

It’s called “Demolition by Neglect” and a lot property owners do that to get around Historic Preservation laws

The wiki article for the ESB said that at the time, skyscrapers were 50% occupied by the time they opened and 90% occupied within 5 years. Now, there are two types. They either wait for a big tenant to take more than half of the space before starting construction, or they build “on-spec” and it varies but lots of them become 85-90% occupied within a couple years unless there are unique problems with that specific building

It crashed into the offices of the Catholic War Relief Services on a foggy Saturday and the building was patched up and reopened on that Monday. An elevator operator was thrown out the open doors of the elevator and emergency responders placed her in a different elevator car which was damaged in the crash so it fell 900 feet to the basement and she still survived.

The murder rate is used to bash cities and encourage you and businesses to flee to the suburbs but any safety is often offset by higher car crash deaths
