INC NEWS - piles of aluminum cans

[Barry Ragin]

Randy - give me a f***ing break. This is a pile of trash in someone's 
backyard. As it happens, their backyard functions as a front yard on the 
block where i live. This isn't a f***ing art project designed to make 
the neighborhood more beautiful, or express someone's artistic impulses, 
however unusual they may be.

These particular tenants have engaged in numerous anti-social and 
occasionally illegal behaviors over most of the past 5 or six years. 
this is merely the latest.

i have, on several occasions, filled trash bags with the crap piled up 
on their front yard. If the backyard wasn't fenced, i'd take care of 
this myself. However, i would like to see some behavior changes from 
these folks, and it's clear, after 5+ years, that's not going to happen 
without some municipal intervention.

I'm sure if any of your neighbors decided that their Forest Hills front 
yard was a good place to have a dump, you wouldn't be making some 
bullsh*t claim that they're "within their rights."

If you don't have anything useful to add to the conversation, please, 
just keep it to yourself.
