“What is up with some people’s complete disrespect for our public spaces? It doesn’t require a huge amount of effort and discipline to keep our streets, sidewalks, parks and shorelines clean. Yet some of us appear incapable.”

    It’s even more amazing that people will toss a lit cigarette butt in the middle of droughts.

    Like I almost get why someone is so lazy they don’t care if things look or smell bad but casual arson is a hell of a leap.

      Honestly and unironically, the punishment for littering needs to be a lot harsher, and strictly enforced.

      Leave a coffee cup on the ground? Jail.
      Don’t pick up your dog’s shit? Jail.
      Toss a cigarette butt on the sidewalk? Straight to jail, no trial.
