Maybe the reason Ken Garcia is so glib about people being fined for leaving trash bins out is because when he looks out his window he enjoys lovely vistas (“A fine line: Garbage in, garbage out of sight,” May 30). Many of us can’t get away from the 24/7 display of other people’s trash that too often grows and overflows around bins and is kept in front of garages we know are being used as entertainment rooms, in-law apartments and junk bins. All the while two and three cars are parked on sidewalks, driveways and fronts that would otherwise be planted areas that would enhance the quality of our streets instead of diminishing them. To his snickering about people being fined for not keeping up weedy front lawns, I say yes to issuing citations for the same reason. Part of being a good neighbor is sharing the responsibility for quality of life and property values that benefit us all.
