There are 8k homeless in SF and 350k homeless in NYC. I was surprised at the huge difference!
Larger buildings like a city hall or Lincoln center will have better waste management than a bodega or small shop. The larger places will have a loading dock and probably a compactor. Source: I worked at a waste tech company
In fact my video literally shows trash on the street as well in SF, as well as homeless.
Seriously, other cities have city hall. There are no dumpsters around it. We have courthouses and government buildings.
Certainly none around Lincoln Center which has the Metropolitan Opera and NYC Ballet and Philharmonic. It doesn’t smell there. There are beautiful fountains etc.
I took some photos of the homeless in SF juxtaposed in front of the skyline in the background. It is very pervasive there. LA and SF seem to be magnets for homeless.
If I was mayor I’d give them all a $50 phone preloaded with gigs including ones from the city, like sweeping the streets and from businesses such as handing out flyers. Have the app unlock mini storage and showers, and help them have digital ID. This ain’t rocket science. Crowdfund the support for each homeless the way we support kids in Haiti. Give them opportunities. But instead the bureaucracy just kicks them around and denies them opportunities without an address.
Anyway…
