In my life I have visited 3 major United States cities. I have been to Boston, Philadelphia, and New York City. I have experienced parts of these cities that were extremely dirty and others that were practically perfectly clean. First, when I went to Boston, I felt that most of the city, or at least the parts I have been to, were relatively clean. I have been to parks in Boston with my cousins that were so clean and very fun to be in. The streets in Boston did not have very much trash and the sidewalks were pretty much clear as well. Next, in Philadelphia I have had different experiences than those of mine in Boston. There were definitely parts of Philly that were cleaner than others, like by City Hall, but in general it was pretty dirty. Especially in the subway and the train stations, I almost did not want to sit down anywhere because of the amount of trash and dirt that was everywhere. There was also more trash on the streets and sidewalks than those of Boston. Lastly, my experiences in New York City have made me believe that it is far dirtier than Boston and Philadelphia. The streets and sidewalks are always riddled with trash, and the subways are not any better, if anything they are far worse. Overall, I would say that cities are not generally clean, but Boston has set an example that it is possible to keep them somewhat clean if they try.
