Wow, I've also never seen that many together. Its somehow not surprising that Canada Post couldn't get it together with the city to intersperse those with recycling boxes. Disgusting.

That's ugly! I've never seen that type of configuration before. Typically what I've seen are the individual boxes peppered throughout neighbourhoods.

Oh, that would be much better. I just grabbed one of the first images that came up in a search. Could be the media purposefully choose ugly options to sensationalize the story.

Come on, don't be such a NIMBY.

I don't think that's a proper use of NIMBY. NIMBY refers to something like a waste treatment plant. Society needs it somewhere, and everyone would prefer it to be in someone else's backyard.

This mailbox proposal would put mailboxes in everyone's backyard.
