I think it's all about expectations, maybe because of the broken window effect too. I have a feeling that such incompetence is less likely in more affluent areas. Same with crooked sidewalks, litter and the mess from grafitti. The incompentents and the a-hoes will take what is given to them. Veolia leaves a mess behind with stuff flying out of cans as they empty them and stuff flying out of trucks as they drive down the street. Their attitude must be "this is just shithole Waukegan so who cares. That attitide wouldn't prevail if our so called leaders would have higher expectations. The aldermen do nothing to help. Oh, they may occasionally say something but they do nothing of substance. They are just a bunch of incompetent jackoffs themselves who are the willing beneficiaries of low expectations.
