You nailed it. I don't think it's a conscious 'oh, they'll pick it up,' it's wicked trifling folks who consciously get off on trashing us and everything in their orbit. It is deliberate animosity. That's why we did all the litter clean-ups at the crack of dawn, to avoid additional attention and animosity. Folks have thrown their trash out the car window at us on more than one occasion. Enough is enough. We're moving out of the region entirely, but just as an example, folks in Birmingham and Franklin ain't living like this. Folks in Oakland Township and Grosse Point Shores can't collect Hefty bags of litter and trash every time they walk their dog. It's disgusting and it never ends in Detroit. And even after receiving that $880 million boatload from the feds, Duggan's admin does not care to spend it on cleaning up the city. It'll all be embezzled by the bureaucracy and Detroit outside of the casinos and a small slice of downtown will still look like the same garbage dump.
