| Comment | That's the key thing, I think. People don't just turn into careless antisocial bastards overnight. Glasgow has a history of picking areas to spend money on and ignoring the others, and if you grew up in a space where the people supposedly looking after you didn't care a shit about it's upkeep, then there's a good chance you just learn not to give a shit either.
It's how New York City became the shithole city it was in the 70s and 80s. They eventually figured out that the way make your place nice is to spend money on the bits that look the worst, not the best (though admittedly that can also lead to gentrification, which is another thing Glasgow has issues with).
If Glasgow could sort it's council out, spread money around fairly, and stop putting pots of cash into rebuilding George Square every 3 years, they could definitely improve things. |
