Towns Need to Make a Good First Impression As Well

First impressions can affect business and personal relationships it can also affect the fortunes of a town as well. Trash and rubbish in and along the streets of a town tells visitors that the people who live there do not take pride in their town - for even poor neighborhoods have the means to prevent and pickup litter and trash. My self drive sweeper hire firm is inundated with work because of the litter problem.
No one with self-pride will want to move into the town, and less desirable people will begin to move in to take advantage of the poor policing. Businesses will look upon the town with the same discerning eye. Quality businesses will avoid the area and businesses that cater to the lower-classes such as pawn shops, liquor stores, and seedy bars will move in instead. Once established, this reputation is hard to shed and can last generations. It is always easier to make a first impression than undo a bad one. So city leaders should always place importance on ensuring their towns and neighborhoods present a clean and well kept appearance. The cost of not doing so is simply too high.
