I’m sure it’s quite complicated but it has always tickled this flyover country bumpkin that the Greatest City on Earth can’t figure out garbage cans
There is literally no place to put them. We’d have to do a massive infrastructure project to make it work and it has to be customized for nearly every building
I shoulda figured, another shill for Big Rat

There are literally millions of places to put them, former parking spaces.

Solve Most Problems of Big Cities With This One Simple Trick! (get rid of cars)

ok but why get rid of free parking for a small fraction of the citizens already wealthy enough to own a car if you might lose your crippling rodent problem that affects everyone? that’s a terrible trade!

I’m all for pitching all the cars in the river. I’m not sure lining the curbs with dumpsters is an improvement
ok how about this. everyone put their trash inside the cars. then they can just empty the cars twice a week.

Kind of. Both will eat a peanut butter flavored block of poison off the street.
Modern rat poison is much much less deadly to humans than the old stuff but it’s much much more deadly to dogs. Penny ate part of a block that a rat dragged into the yard. Luckily, I noticed it immediately and was able to get most of it out of her mouth. I rushed her to the vet and they pumped her stomach and found a bunch of poison chunks in there. Vet told me that there’s no antidote for the modern poison and if we saw any symptoms of poisoning, it was already too late.
Fortunately, I got her to the vet before she digested any.
So yeah, fuck rat poison. It does nothing to control the rats and just poses a danger to pets and children. Throw that shit in the dumpster, oh wait…

@Rusty_Piton agreed with your previous point, bike infrastructure is not done when it’s done, its doneness is an ongoing maintenance commitment. Thank god my city gets it, we have relatively shit mups to get around town but at least they go places and are cleared and swept. It’s not like that all over Metro Vancouver, we have lots of the proverbial bike lanes filled with leaves.

Here everyone just puts their bins in the bike lane on trash day
One of my favorite grizzled old clients from bike mines would say you haven’t truly lived LA road cycling til you ride PCH on trash day

Problem here is where you put them the rest of the time
They should tear down every other building to make way for alleys.
