This is essentially what I was going to say. But if you want a couple quick examples, 153 ave between 82 and 66, all the trees look dead or at the very least seem to have something very wrong with them, when compared to the ones down the road between 66 and 50. The center patches of grass on 153 have shrubs, some look dead and some have been removed. So you’re left with a hump where nothing but grass and weeds grow, and the JDs don’t seem to be able to cut them. There are also rose shrubs along 153 and also along 82 (south of 167) that again are half dead and end up overtaken by weeds.
What’s the point of spending money to plant nice things if you have no intention of spending adequate resources to maintain them?
Maybe it is hard to tell when you’re driving by, but when you walk and jog by many streets, it becomes very clear that many areas require work. Oh, and don’t forget the many bus stops and benches that get over run by weeds, but I guess maybe that is more tolerable than the crack heads over taking them
