An u-n-s-o-l-v-a-b-l-e problem of filth on the once proud but now abandoned New Haven Green.
The city, the citizens, the institutions, the heavily overburdened taxpayers have thrown in the towel and given the Green up to squalor, human waste, trash. And the beauty and wide community enjoyment of the Green is never coming back.
And on Thursday, a lovely early summer day, near lunchtime, a grown man, shirtless and disheveled, unzipped his pants, unbuckled his belt, and urinated into the fountain.
And the reaction? There was none. Because we've given the Green over to this, and now such is normal.

I agree with others. The Green has turned into a pretty messy place. I pass through every morning and evening on my way to/from work. It's still a pleasant oasis compared to walking on city streets, but it's become a little hard on the eyes. Lots of trash (esp. cardboard used for sleeping), plus the usual (wrappers, paper, etc.) floating around, and lots of people sitting on benches doing drugs (it's almost inevitable that you'll see a heroin junkie nodding out on at least one bench). Maybe the Proprietors of the Green could be a little more responsible for the property which they OWN.
