Commenters pointed out that many of the people interviewed were from Lakeview, a youthful neighborhood adjacent to Wrigley Field.
“You live a mile from Wrigley and expect to NOT have some [garbage] in the street? Honestly I see more regular sized beer cans than 40s lying around,” one user shared.
“I love the neighborhood but I hate the people who want it to be treated like a suburb rather than part of the city…. this is a city and not some sheltered suburban escape town,” chimed in another.
No one seemed to support the ban, but instead users contemplated other ways to keep the neighborhood cleaner.
Do you think this is an effective way to limit partying?
