* Prince of Petworth ponders, is it a waste to hose sidewalks instead of just sweeping them? A commenter weighs in on the complicated issue:

This lazy wastefulness was among the first DC bad habits I noticed upon moving here in ‘85. I often see the workers chasing a lone cigarette butt into the gutter with a powerful spray. In defense of hosing, there is a surprising amount of urine sprayed every night on ALL of the buildings…If you go to work before 6:30, it’s discouraging to see. So maybe a sweep for litter first, then hosing of the urine?
