Personally I have no idea what you're talking about...have visited the city many many times for work from bronx to manhattan, and come from a much "dirtier" city.

If you think there's garbage everywhere in NYC, I advise you to never visit most European capitals, and especially not the asian subcontinent. Which is not to shame these places, but more so to say that NYC is doing OK.

> It's not the parking spots - residents have zero interest in walking to the end of their block with garbage.

Nobody would have to do that. They'd have to walk an extra 10 ft from the front of their building to the curb. Unless they live in a multifamily building (which is most of the city), in which case the building superintendent would do that.

> Have you been in NY? There's garbage everywhere.

Because that's the city-sanctioned way for

> I mentioned in another post it's mostly row houses

This is incorrect. That does not describe the majority of housing units in NYC.

> The dumpster would go at the end of the block, no one will support walking that far with their garbage. Not when they are used to a different way.

I don't know why you're so confidently making this claim, because that's not what's being proposed or being done. There already is a pilot program for containerized trash collection, and - surprise - there's not just one container per block.
