Need To Dump A Body? How About Just A Couch or Two?

Since I first came across the city's most ideal midnight dumping area a few weeks ago, several discarded items have been added to it.  Given the fact that there are no signs or video cameras anywhere nearby, it seems that Joe Ferris, Rob Perry, Mishanda Franklin, Nick Fox and the whole cast of characters supposedly governing the city are perfectly fine with you, me and everyone else living in and around Hudson dumping trash in that quiet no man's land on the 2nd Street extension.  Go ahead, it's city property!  Drop a couch or broken chair or two (or large bags of fresh garbage!) down there some night instead of taking it to the transfer station to pay for it to be disposed of properly.  You know Rob Perry won't mind, and neither will Joe Ferris.  

I'm not sure where this trail leads to or why it is there, but it has enabled midnight dumping.  It has also enabled the city to become uglier and for City Hall to spend more money it does not have to clean it up occasionally.

Someday soon, when the area gets too ugly with discarded junk (it's acceptable now!), DPW will take it all away and we'll all pay to have it disposed of properly. And you know the city can afford to do this -- they just raised our taxes again! DPW has plenty of funds in their budget to clean up illegal dumping spots; just don't expect them to do anything about preventing them in the future. That's the difficult part that takes EFFORT, COMMUNICATION and FOLLOW THROUGH, three things that are in short supply at City Hall.

A comfy-looking couch appeared within the past two weeks in an open area across the street from the main dumping ground.  It will likely attract more furniture soon.  A couple of end tables or a coffee table would be nice.  Maybe a floor lamp or two and a rug?

It's worth noting that just a few hundred feet north of the city- sponsored illegal dumping area is Hudson's former legal garbage dump, now capped, vented, verdant and off-limits to humans.  Maybe it's time to resume operations there.

The white vent pipe in the middle, one of many on the former landfill, allows methane and other horrible planet-warming gases to escape the garbage pit and fill our atmosphere.   What's worse, a landfill that explodes or a hot planet that can't sustain human life or just makes life unbearable?
