That was the point I was getting at.
People in Philly are generally anti-BID (though that's changing nee Northern Liberties), because they say "the city should do it"..."look at NYC, it's clean".
Generally, the places in Manhattan that are immaculate have BIDs (like Midtown East, Columbus Circle, Grand Central, etc). Of course, outsiders would never know that.
Someone upthread was also talking about how good the tree pits looked in Manhattan...again, a BID. Not the city. Not a neighborhood association (these generally don't exist in NYC). The BID.
