Mirador Sur Park area turned into City Hall garbage dump

[Dolores]

An ironic and alarming situation is unfolding in Santo Domingo’s Parque Mirador Sur, where a section of the supposedly protected green space has been converted into an unofficial landfill, right next to the very entity tasked with safeguarding public areas, Listin Diario reports. The Public Advocacy and Use of Public Spaces (DUEP) Department, a dependency of the National District City Hall (ADN), has its headquarters situated amidst a growing mountain of scrap metal and debris, turning a once-pristine park area into a junkyard.

Listin Diario reports that the Mirador Sur Park is a protected natural reserve and yet now hosts a mountain of trash and a visible homeless population residing in its caves. The reporter complains about the massive pile of discarded items accumulating near the DUEP’s offices, creating a stark contrast to the park’s natural beauty.

This comes as no surprise. It's been my experience the same people who often create the laws and are task with enforcing these laws
don't seem to think these laws apply to them. When it comes to the average Dominican over 35 and how concerned they are about the environment,
on a scale of one to ten, with ten be the lowest score, the environment is a 12 or 13.

I've driven along Av. Mirador Sur several times. The park looked very nice and it seemed like a pretty expensive area. Hard to believe they would let this happen there.

Not hard to believe at all.
Take a drive around the Cibao region sometime and you'll understand why I say this.

That's because you can't see the trash from up there. It's on Ave. Cayetano Germosen

Garbage seems to be the official National Dominican flower

What a pity ...this is a beautifull park ...when I am in Santo Domingo I walk my dog there every morning

The whole country is a big garbage dump, why this park has to be different?

Just another thing which makes you wonder about the caliber of people in governmental posts.

as one of my favorite professors used to always say...when people show you who they really are, believe them.

When you live there you get more or less used to it. Once you go once a year like me (just for family obligations, I prefer Tenerife 100 times), you are shocked by the amount of garbage everywhere in the country. So sad.

I travel frequently into Los Alcarrizos from Haina.

See all the brown area? That's after the latest cleanup effort. Before the houses were built in the upper left, the entire area within that square was an ocean of refuse where everyone threw their trash.

Yes, it is sad, and worse than sad because every kid for the past twenty years has been taught to know better; they just don't give a fu.k. The houses are clean, they themselves are clean, their vehicles are really clean, but the streets, the rivers, roadsides....etc, not even close to clean.

Vehicles are clean from the outside, they wash them. And there are two types of Dominicans. First type: they have a garbage dump inside the car, it's full of trash. Second type: they don't accumulate trash inside the car, they just throw it right out of the car window So if you see somebody's car clean inside, that means they already threw their trash out of the window and it's somewhere in the street or on the sidewalk already.

That’s a mighty broad brush you’re painting with.

Of course, I forgot to mention that the facts described in my post don't apply to Dominican spouses and boyfriends/girlfriends of members of this forum (especially moderators).

Same old lack of respect from you.

Lady, with all due respect, it's not me who turned this beautiful country into a big garbage dump. And it's not American, Canadian, French, Russian, British, German or other people. Not even Venezuelans or Colombians. It's Dominicans and only Dominicans who did that. Any trash you see anywhere, it's because some Dominican threw it there.

And if I was painting this picture with a broad brush, this country would not be covered with garbage. And it's Dominicans and only Dominicans who add more trash every day everywhere. You may like it or not, but it's the fact.

It's them who don't have any respect to themselves and to anybody or anything else. I am just stating the facts.
