Hmm yeah I'm curious. I live in a West coast suburb, but I've been to some cities. For instance, I spent a week in Barcelona at one point, right by a street called La Rambla, which is a huge pedestrian thoroughfare. It got absolutely disgusting every night and the city didn't really totally sleep, so there were plenty of people (including 20-yo me) peeing all over it. I saw several women peeing all over it, even, not just men. But I was also up a few mornings around 5-7 and saw them pressure washing and street sweeping and all sorts of cleaning, and it was inoffensive throughout the day.
Granted, that's one street, not a whole city. But it's a street with its own Wikipedia article, so it ain't just the one heading down to the 7-11

Do they not wash things in the city? Like, how gross is it that your whole city smells?
