That moment when New York City realized that it doesn't have to resort to clogging its curbs and sidewalks with loose bags of trash and can instead rely on sophisticated technology: Trash cans

Tweet

Car brain in the comment thread...

Trash bags take up exactly as much space as a trash bag for exactly as long as it is on the sidewalk. Trash cans take up more than their maximum capacity regardless of how full they are, 24 hours a day.

And the tweeter's reply...

Despite having the best public transit system in America, New York City has 3 million on-street parking spaces, more than 95% of which are free, and your concern is… trash cans taking up too much space? Sorry, but if you love the rats so much, why don't you marry one?

      Commoditized 7-11-like shit is not a bodega. But - yes - some people still call bodegas convenience stores because bodegas are basically non-existent in most of the US.

        All the convenience stores around me are owned by mom and pop tyrants, the only difference is that they let Shell sell gas in the parking lot.
