The reason that the grounds of housing projects are often a mess is quite
simple: No individual feels they have enough personal stake in the
cleanliness to make it worth their trouble. This is not limited to poor
people. The companies owned by your rich neighbors cause pollution far more
ugly and unpleasant than all the beer cans and McDonald's bags in all the
world's housing projects combined, and they do it for precisely the same
reason.
