glad1, there are American colonias, towns living in third world living conditions right in Texas. It isn't just in Mexico. And we shouldn't forget that really Texas and a large part of the U.S. was originally Mexico hundreds of years ago, with their large moral vacuum among their culture. It's flippant to say go back to Mexico, we should help them change, who wants to go to Mexico anymore? it's a crime outlet.

There's alot of twists to this story. The trash at one trailer was left by the family that vacated. The residents don't feel it is their responsibility to clean up other peoples piggyness. However, their own yards do not look much better. I say take pride in your neighborhood. If it's an eyesore then take a weekend to pile it all up and have a bonfire. Now, the sewer buildup. Totally the landowners responsiblity. That's just nasty. Speaking of bonfire, I want to ask that whoever is targeting the East Side of SA for setting houses on fire, make your work count and go after the crackhouses. C'mon a church, really? Lame. How 1960's. Anyways.

I had the same first thought as everyone else. How about everyone just start picking up after themselves?! Pick up your trash, take a trip to the dump, recycle, plant a flower! Just because the people there are generally poor doesn't mean that they have to trash the place. Take some pride in where ever you call home. Not the cities job to clean up the trash that residents refuse to take care of.

Why don't they move out?? And he says he was charging them low rent!!!!! Please he knew he was doing them wrong.

The people who live there put it there ,let them pick up their mess ,why burden the city , tell them this isn't Mexico ,if they want to live like pigs then go to Mexico .this is my opinion,

And who put all that junk in the yards??? Did it magically appear, or are the residents responsible for keeping their yards clear of debris? I can understand complaining about overflowing trash bins, but from the picture, it looks like a lot of junk that people have just pile outside their homes. Sure, call the city and complain when you won't clean up your own mess.
