As most people are aware of,the economy is not good. A drive through many neighborhoods will show several abandoned homes and more that are up for sale. You will often find untidy streets in neighborhoods with high economic struggles. Nowadays, it's even rare to see road sweepers take to the roads - there's a sense of hopelessness. It seems that the more hopeless the people in the neighborhood begin to feel, the less they care about what is going on in the area. The streets end up with paper and glass strewn about and no one seems to care or maybe no one has the energy to deal with cleaning it up. The untidy streets show how down and out many in the area feel. The mess on one street soon spreads to another and another and soon the entire neighborhood looks uncared for. This in turn leads to the people living in the neighborhood feeling even more depressed. It is a vicious circle. If even one or two people try to clean up and make the areas look better, it can do much to boost morale.
