Nobody wants garbage out the front of their house. If you walked past 100 houses, how many are going to be littered with food wrappers, old tires, cardboard boxes? Maybe one or two. Because it's downright embarrassing. Nobody wants to leave the shit on the kerbside, they do it because they have no choice.

Knowing a lot of uni students, almost none of them own a vehicle. A rough 50% of them came from interstate, another city or overseas. They don't have friends or family to help them out, it's challenging to break into established local social circles. Ends up being friendships between other people of their own culture that lasts more than a couple of months.

What do these uni students do when they have a sprung mattress? Toss it on the lawn until their landlord gets a complaint from the neighbours. Knowing the average landlord, months.

It's not just uni students, there are plenty of people in challenging situations as we go through financially difficult times.
