We have fun, but the approach is commendable; the resolution, excellent. If we say NYC, you think that Times Square, Brooklyn Bridge or Broadway will never be trash or rats. You are wrong! 8.3 million New Yorkers produce more than 6 million tons of trash each year that ends up in trash bags stored on the street before being collected. The creators of the “Commissioner’s Plan of 1811” (a grid diagram of Manhattan) did not actually think of the alleys and side alleys that would have made it possible to store dumpsters and common garbage cans; the original buildings were designed without waste rooms.
