Come see America with some streets that look a lot worse than Amman. Be kind to your City and your country, you are living in a country that is a thousand times better than many,many countries around the world.

When we are going to become proactive. I find the expats who live in Amman are more appreciative to our city than we are .. this is sad that we don't have appreciation to what we have! our streets are not perfect but they are ok; have u went downtown?? have you noticed the newly painted homes of old Amman?? these are beautiful; every city has its flaws and thats what makes its charachter .. :) why dont you share with us one positive thing about amman?? why we Ammanis are famous of being passive, the Municipality is doing its best to reach out to hear your complaints, they started a blog, they established a radio station, why don’t you voice your complaints through the proper channels to get them solved.

GAM comes second after the Social Security Dept in terms of income and cash flow, so there is no reason for having such shitty roads in Amman. And one of the most problems they have is the lack of cordination between other entities. So one day Lema will attack the street and do some fixing, then the next month its the electricity company then its the cable company, the result is a disastorous situation on the same street. Mind you the lack of reflectors, lanes, pavements. The only credit I can give GAM is the naming of the streets and the numbering of the buildings. We pay alot of taxes in this country and its time for pay back. I realy don’t understand why Jordanians should live with the minimum services and infrastructure we have in Amman.

I know that we don't have the best streets in the world, but we are way better off that other countries?? And GAM is trying and trying hard but fixing a city is not a couple of months work, it takes time. Come on guys??

Ali, that's not my car, that's some poor guy driving on mecca street when it collapsed under his car, and what's with soap, I don't know :) ask GAM Alia, give me a break, can you name one really good street in Amman, if you can let me know and I'll go and check Catalyst, I guess you can see it on the flag, no way Observer, personally I'm frustrated with the streets and sidewalks and I don't fee that GAM is trying hard enough, nit even trying at all to fix them Good point Kinzi about the white flag, specially in the winter!

It may not solve all of Amman's problems, but it is certainly a good move towards a better perception of the city that would hopefully motivate of more work to make this city better and better. There is no need to bash any good effort for the existance of some bad things. I love the logo!
