Baltimore's perpetual trash problem (opens to video)

Excerpt, possibly the BLUF:
[Baltimore Sun] Acting Mayor Jack Young, tired of seeing people casually toss litter out of car windows or on the ground as they walk down the street, has decided to take on the issue as one of his main platforms. "A clean city is an inviting city," he said during a recent meeting with The Sun’s editorial board. The city’s crime problem makes it hard to keep some neighborhoods clean, he said, noting that criminals don’t like "clean spaces." They need trash piles to hide drug stashes or debris-cluttered alleys to make it difficult for police to chase them. John F. Chalmers, head of the city’s Bureau of Solid Waste, said sanitation workers will clean up trash piles only to have dealers dirty them up again. Some will threaten city employees who try to tidy up. So whatever Mr. Young has in mind, it seems solutions for the trash and crime problems will go hand-in-hand.

#1 Trash, debris, rats are all problems of 'modern' metro areas that seek to dump it on the deplorables every chance they get. Some how all those 'green' solutions end when it comes time to dump and they make it someone else's problem.
