Wow! An ancient thread from five years ago, and many user names ago. I must have missed it. Indeed it is a sore wound. In EY it is common knowledge that Haredi influx brings trash. In my immediate area two new “gananot” cropped up. These are women that care for the “kollel orphans”. With the comings and goings of the children and parents, there are plastic cups, snack wrappers, diapers and all other manner of littering. For some of my neighbors, a dirty walkway is an affront to their sense of self. To me, eretz hakodesh should reflect some human refinements, many of which are sadly missing amoung us. What happened to the sterling ways of mussar?
