There's always the possibility that these corporate landlords accept the tickets as a cost of doing business. They may have discovered that it is easier to pay the tickets every week than have their staff manage trash and recycling properly. Whether it's this or unequal enforcement, they're still being horrible neighbors. It's interesting that the volume of trash on the 4100 and 4000 blocks of Locust has actually INCREASED since the end of the academic year. Or maybe I'm just noticing the stench more that the hot weather is cooking these properties' leaking, ripped bags to sufficient ripeness. The north sides of those two blocks are a mess. I always cross the street walking to work on trash day. Mark ---- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to the list named "UnivCity."
