The council person really said it’s your responsibility until the police report? Do they want to make life easier for thieves? I sympathize with you, I’ve been the victim of car crime here as well

This was something I was baffled with I first visited Philly.

I'm from Seattle and we have unbagged recycling as well, but our bins have lids that swing open. (https://www.seattle.gov/images/Departments/SPU/Services/Recycling/Recycle_Right_Carts_Logo.jpg)

This keeps the birds/wind from moving things around, while still keeping it easy to open. I never understood why this approach wasn't used in many areas of the east coast.

I don’t think I need all the extra parts that come with a set of those screws (caps n shit? Other tiny stuff maybe stickers, never done it figured just having the different bit is fine)

They wouldn’t let me mod because I’m not always civil, not always friendly, and I’d let shit slide on a sub that I guess they can’t risk…

I got the torx license plate screws.

Modding ain't easy, and I don't want to do it, so I won't boo on them.

Damn , I’m getting the torx license plate screws now on Amazon! I already am having issues with people fucking with my van just because it sits in one place, it’s used as an RV (thinking of getting stickers that say that). Valid tags, inspection , registration , all that, just someone broke my side window and then tore the taped bag off after I taped it up… I simply shut another bag in the door if my work is going to keep getting destroyed.

Also boo on mods deleting posts that people should be able to make!

I’ve never seen a gun and thought; “I better watch out for that gun by its self.”

Ha ha ha.

Why cant they vaccum under the cars? What kind of engineers didnt think of that?

This school is in an affluent area. As a Catholic I doubt the church need to set this one on fire for insurance money

Okay, wait. Literally two days ago, there was a massive 8 alarm fire over in New Jersey, at a Catholic church with a school attached. And twenty-four hours later there's a massive fire at a Catholic school in Philly?

6:50?! Dang.... I had 7:25 and thought that was bad...

i have a family member that was there. There was still about 30 kids iin the building for after care. they were thankfully outside at the time the fire started because it was a nice day.

Have a neighbor or friend move it for you.

Park it at one of the suburban train stations with a huge parking lot.

Park it at the airport.

Just leave it on the street and pay the ticket.

This is an actual problem, but it’s not a big enough problem for all the rest of us to live in trash just so it’ll be a bit more convenient for you to travel for work.

That ShopRite is awful. Always reeks of old fryer grease, and it has by far the worst layout I have EVER seen in a grocery store. Name something you want to buy, and there's a 50% chance the options are split into two different places.

Sparkling water? Some are in one aisle, some in another. Same with tortilla chips, eggs, bacon, milk, shredded cheese. Just incredibly stupid

This is the best news!! And anyone who complains about it can rot in a pile of garbage.

Ugh, I feel you but some of them do their job above and beyond (e.g. trash trucks with a broom and dustpan mounted on the back are a good indicator).

I have stories.

The biggest issue with the city is near zero on-the-ground accountability towards nonsensical behavior, be it of a citizen or a municipal worker. How many times a week do I have to see idiot contractors pushing brick dust or what-have-you, down a street grate. It's absurd.

I'm fortunate whereas I don't live around too many junkies, and crack/crackheads are much harder to encounter nowadays. My next door neighbors have two ypung kids and at least three or four adults in their place.

We live in West Philly. We have trees. we have squirrels and avians. The house produces so much trash by the day after trash day, and they don't cover them at all and of course squirrels and birds rip into the bags and then there's trash everywhere, and it gets blown into our little front yard. I swear, I came home one day and a squirrel looked like it wanted to fight me, it was so well fed. They take the food to our porch and eat and shit there.

They recently put a campaign sign up for Jeff "Pick Up the Damn Trash" Brown. The cognitive dissonance pisses me off to no end.

There's trash everywhere because these people think civil servants are their personal custodians, and not something that need to take the smallest amount of responsibility for.

Trash pick-up isn't perfect, and the pandemic took out workers they're still working to replace, but ye gods, people don't take responsibility for their own actions (or, as often is the case, inactions)

They should schedule it the day after the area's trash days, get all the stuff the workers just spread around and it would be easier for most to remember.

I live in this township and have elementary and middle-school kids. Not sure about the HS parents, but judging by the school FB groups I'm in, it's not quite that bleak. There's a vocal minority are complaining, but they're usually told that their position is unreasonable pretty quick.

Who knows how that will change now that the votes were cast. I'm sure someone will get out the torches and pitchforks soon enough...
