East Java Success Story

Article in Kompas, needed Google translate. They have painted some buildings and people are now taking photos/selfies on the bridge by the river. This has also been successful in curbing some behavior. People poop/defecate by the river much less now.

I almost forgot the link:

So many times I have just stopped and looked at neighborhoods and thought how great some color would be.

Yep, proven from subway NYC and tram Amsterdam study projects; something very nice and in pristine condition does not get vandalized so fast.

You guys are too serious, although what you said is true. When my wife was reading Kompas she started laughing at the headline and article. i found it humorous so I also posted it. You imagine taking selfies on the bridge and capturing someone in the background taking a dump in the river. I also offered to take my wife there for a holiday with pics but she graciously declined.

I thought that all rivers and streams here were to dump in and throw all the plastic rubbish you have

You guys are too serious....

I guess that's what living here does to you; on these matters one becomes dull, and very cynical.

Just when I finally found an airy and peaceful shitting place, I have to go and search for a new one. Bloody annoying
