I can’t believe that I am living in NYC because of the terrible dirtiness of the city and the carelessness of the sanitation department regarding the city cleanliness.

I see garbage more than these disgusting pictures everyday, everywhere, every moment. All the city needs to be cleaned everyday, and I sent an email to the department to make a kind of employment dedicated to clean the sidewalks everyday rather than only relying on the property cleaning (this happens in most of the countries and very effective for cleanliness), but they sent me a formal email including some requirements which I see that it’s not valid for cleanliness any more and the pictures are the evidence.

In the private sector I would be counciled and eventually fired for such conduct. Lets raise the bar, start holding people accountable! I love Brooklyn but its times like this...
