I feel like people would sue the city if they had to walk more than a minute to dump out their trash in NYC. I was there for a few months when the trash bins were being tested out, and seeing people complain about it was… interesting?

Were the bins in the street and not on the sidewalk for this test? These complaint were likely really about taking away a parking spot.

People would rather walk through a maze of garbage bags than make things slightly less convenient while driving. We are way too car-brained.

Yup, those were the exact complaints actually! A bit wild to my stupid brain, but it is what it is.
