Junkers don’t belong on streets

Junk cars that people leave sitting on lawns and streets, broken-down and abandoned for months on end, are an eyesore and lower the quality of life of a neighborhood. Kudos to the Wichita Police Department and Office of Central Inspection for its sweep last Thursday that hauled off 27 of these junkers in northeast Wichita after owners ignored citations to fix them.

After years of letting things slide on blight, the city of Wichita is sending a welcome message that it’s serious about cleaning up neighborhoods.

    Ah by all means beat-up the poor people, who can least afford to fix their cars.
