> People leaving trash outside the dumpster?

Have you ever actually lived in a city?

> There are piles of trash and shit? Wow. Why don't you use your freedom and move?

I'm doing just that, moving to another neighborhood on Feb 1.

> Your argument is that you can't think of a solution, so you'll just abuse these people.

Like I said elsewhere in this thread: I think the need of the thousands of residents of the neighborhood to have livable streets outweigh whatever concern you might have about the well being of a few destructive individuals.

I've lived in many cities. I don't think I've ever lived someplace without a few troublesome, housed, neighbors - including those who left their trash outside the dumpster!

It's their rights and freedom, and that applies to everyone. Other people can't outweigh them - rights are not subject to majority rules, that is the point of having rights.

'Liveable' is too loose a standard. Actual harm would be meaningful.
