Daniel Cassell was found unresponsive in his Philadelphia home. I thought he was in prison.

Like other reasonable comments are saying, you have to look at what you're paying for. If that $500 is just for landscaping & trash, then you may have issues.
I was in an HOA where our fee covered gates & guards, snow removal - right to our door & driveway, lawns, trees, gardens, cable & internet, alarm service, community pool w/ maintenance & lifeguards, community center, tennis courts, basketball courts, riverfront walkway, trash & recycling, repair/maintenance fund for community areas, and we had surpluses allowing us to buy and build things like guest parking and the walkway.
Nearly everyone in the community participated in the HOA, so there were no power mad Karens. People came to the meetings before there was a crisis. We asked about budget changes before the budget vote. When people wanted to install satellite dishes, we amended the bylaws to allow it within reason - but we did still fine the yahoos that insisted on mounting a dish on their handrail or on a pallet in their driveway.
Our HOA payments were something like $117 back in 1998, and went up to $390 by 2014.

Sweden is the only place I know of where people put their ciggs out appropriately and make sure they aren't lit and throw them in the trash. Stockkholm is pristine, quite a sight to behold.
Are you moving to Stockholm? Everywhere in the US has trash, it's a culture thing. I live in an area of NYC (well all the boroughs in general) where dog poop is all over the sidewalk, moving to NJ soon, at least people pick up after their dogs.
I can't recall the last time I put trash in a public area. Maybe as a child but even then... (I am an inner city kid- my parents were strict immigrants, perhaps where this came from for me). There would have to be a mindshift for this to change in America. Seems like we have bigger fish to fry though.

The only things about your choice of teams that makes no sense is liking the Nets and the 76ers? They’re division rivals.

Yeah no one should have to but people do because they care about their area looking clean and shit. This is why I want harsher fines.

MetLife is also closer to its namesake city than the other teams who don’t play in their actual cities. Hell, Santa Clara where the 49ers actually play is 45 miles away from San Francisco.

Vermont is beautiful and good luck moving there. It’s also cleaner because there a lot less people living there.

And! If you display anything that would say NJ Giants or NJ Jets, they will confiscate it and maybe even throw you out!

The Medford lakes Southampton Tabernacle area. Every morning My husband says a prayer of thanks so he doesn't have to hear me bitching about the litter on the streets lol. I told him I'm going to shut up about this and then I never shut up about it.

I’m fully aware. My misspelling was intentional. I was born in Giants country but spent my college years in the Philly area.

No, It's not as simple as that. All the trash I saw was on the State highways and on the ramps It was horrendous and still is in certain parts of the state. No one should be pulling over to pick that crap up. Also there's just not enough trash cans on other streets to pick up someone's filth. Like others have said the answer is not to tell someone you pick it up even though it's a good thought It's to make those penalties for dropping litter extremely high which of course will never happen in this state or put money aside for the budget to have workers pick that up They actually do that in New Brunswick New Jersey.

Same here We moved down south Jersey to the beginning of the pine barrons. Not only is it freaking beautiful I don't see any trash littering our streets my neighborhoods anywhere. I go up to Central Jersey Edison area to visit family and friends and there it is everywhere I look

No one should have to pick up the litter that some scumbags throw on a highway First of all it's not safe second of all the most littered area are the ramps coming off of highway or on a highway. To tell someone why don't you just pull over and get out of your car and pick up that filth is ridiculous. Phil Murphy that moron along with all the other morons who were governors should be addressing this because it's getting worse and worse.

I seen areas of Northeast Jersey and Central Jersey that look like what you're talking about. As a matter of fact it's why I moved to a part of Jersey where I no longer see that and I'm in heaven Just pure pure heaven.

Exactly the nightmare that is new construction Ryan homes....is a nightmare. Cheap new build garbage home with the cheapest materials and they bid out to the lowest bidder They don't care if they've only been in construction for 5 minutes. What we saw going on in a development being built by them not far from here I wish I could have put up a billboard to warn people
