Garden hose?

Ha. Talk about stepping in it.....you just did. I now live in an
apartment.
The neighborhood's full of stray dogs. The hose outlet is covered by a
locked box so the entire complex doesn't have a car washing party. Where
would you suggest I clean my shoes? Kitchen sink?

Works for me.

Does your family use the sinks as toilets, too?


crime has been compounded. Unfortunately, this isn't MY private property,
or
I'd settle the issue.

Since it isn't your property, you have no right to complain.

The residents have the right to complain because the dogs are ruining
common-use areas. This is the same logic used when municipalities ban dogs
from certain parks.



With what? And where would I put it? I usually walked in the street so
that if a (rare) accidental dropping would occur, it would be in the
street and not in someone's yard.

With a tool and a bag, you idiot. The street is shared property. Nobody
wants it on the sidewalks

Which is why it's in the street and not on the sidewalks.

That's much different. This way, if someone who doesn't live nearby is
getting back into their car and steps in it, they are forced to foul their
car rugs.


Kids play on the sidewalks. Kids (all kids,
everywhere, throughout recorded history) put their hands near or in their
mouths. Regardless of what the law says, it's your responsibility to
clean
it up within seconds of it happening. Period.

Who's responsibility is it to clean up the droppings from the Canadian
Geese, Deer, Squirrels, Chipmunks, Foxes, Wild Turkey, Rabbits,
Occasional bears, Raccoons, Possums, Various species of birds, etc? Do
kids only pick up dog poop? When you come up with a good answer for
that, then maybe I'll entertain your fantasy.

Stupid question. NOBODY can control thousands of wild animals. But dog
owners can control their dogs and clean up after them.
