I think The DartLady is right ... there's a whole "class" of people that live off money from our government. We have taught these people that it is someone else's job to put a roof over their head, food in their mouth, and apparently trash in the garbage.<br /><br />I have no problem w/ ASSISTANCE, but just this weekend I learned that the woman I was having a problem w/ next door was living entirely off our dime. Between Section 8 and SSI, her rent ($750/month) and utilities were covered. She was a rude, disrespectful slob, and I'm so glad she has moved out of that apartment.<br /><br />And we've actually created not one but TWO career-welfare classes ... let's not forget about the slumlord's who no problem housing these people who are trashing our neighborhoods, as long as they get paid to do so. We need landlords who care and invest in their properties ... not collect rent until their tenants destroy the place, then leave the city a vacant, decaying property.<br /><br />IT ALL NEEDS TO STOP.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08886699833565187687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4161347543395549394.post-12670188613153763592010-07-11T08:13:44.156-07:002010-07-11T08:13:44.156-07:00Thank you thank you Jim for speaking out! We have ...Thank you thank you Jim for speaking out! We have endured this way too long, people that 'pop' up to live in our Community and make a craphole out of it. On my BLOG people complain that I am a complainer, what they don't care??? I guess they don't. We complain about them throwing their garbage out the 3rd floor windows to crash and break all over the sidewalk. They the rodents finish tearing it apart at night.If this is how you handle things where you 'use' to live, PLEASE go back! We won't miss you. Everyone should speak up about this when they see it and maybe....just maybe they will get the message!Tina Urzanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17523171858401042102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4161347543395549394.post-26273728258036409272010-07-11T03:52:14.492-07:002010-07-11T03:52:14.492-07:00This is a subject near and dear to me. Can you im...This is a subject near and dear to me. Can you imagaine a grown woman throwing garbage out on the street in front of the very place she lives???? She doesn't mind seeing garbage in front of her house??? She is not embarrassed to have people visit her and see trash strewn in front of her building??? AND EVEN WORSE, she had the nerve to have an attitude when she was caught littering and asked to pick up her mess. <br /><br />I own a home on River street in Uptown Troy and every single day I walk out of my house to see all kinds of garage on the street. This garabge is caused mostly by people who do not work for a living as I do. They get free money and all kinds of help from the government while I work to earn my cash. There is an abundance of people like this living in South Troy and Uptown. These two neighborhoods seem to be a dumping ground for people who do not care to earn a living or have any desire to see clean streets when they look out of their windows.Afro-Latinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17429739298578913065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4161347543395549394.post-28952703274004400352010-07-11T03:18:25.237-07:002010-07-11T03:18:25.237-07:00You've hit on a point that many, many citizens...You've hit on a point that many, many citizens within the South Troy and Uptown neighborhoods have been stomping our feet over for years to no avail. Thank you for stepping up to the plate and calling a slob a slob. It will take EVERY good and upright citizen of TROY, regardless of where they live, doing so in order to eliminate the apathy that WE have allowed to take hold of our CITY. Many individuals, like the slob in your story, feel "entitled" to be pigs. After all, everything is handed to them. They don't have to work for it. They don't EARN it. They don't care. It's that apathy we are fighting. It's a battle that will be won ONLY when EVERYONE stops to call a pig a pig.The Dartladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13942494896566155308noreply@blogger.com
