I have MY hypothesis about why more trash is found on TV Land's streets than 10 or 15 years ago. TV residents of 15 years ago were mostly military enlisted men and wives and people with retirements brought about by UNIONS. They were UNION workers that were committed to the concept of WORKING. Both groups took PRIDE in doing things themselves and with their OWN hands. Most were NOT white-collar managers. So, they cut their OWN grass and hedges and planted and fertilized their own yards. That gave them pride and SATISFACTION. They had purchased their houses at VERY reasonable prices and were FRUGAL with their retirement money.
Today they have died and gone to the BIG Village in the sky. The newer residents pay more for their homes and are more likely to be management types, professionals, or office workers. White-collar types that dislike getting dirty and calloused hands. Unions are GONE for the most part. So, these management types are willing to pay to have ALL the WORK in the yard and house done by younger local workers that often do NOT take pride in their work. They are more interested in drinking after work than they are in clean streets in some RICHY, RICH people's neighborhoods. They DON'T live here so, can you blame them. They cut your grass and leave behind an endless supply of cigarette butts there - and water bottles in YOUR streets. On average, they come from poor, pathetic, trash-filled neighborhoods and you ENCOURAGE them to invade YOUR neighborhoods - what do YOU expect?
Then at night, they know who has left for the summer or weekend and they come back with their friends and break into YOUR homes and get some items to pawn and supplement their low incomes. There are even more things to worry about than trash, trash, trash!
