0.2% of NYC’s parking spaces could disappear. Time to panic!
Cool. Fuck cars and on street parking.
Don’t fuck cars, it might hurt your pepe.
The cylinder must not be harmed
Just put a fleshlight in the tail pipe and you’re good to go
This just in:
In a massive continuance of the existing status quo, NYC uses parking spots as short-term trash parking. More at 11.
This is a better use of space tbh
Improving the quality of rubbish on their streets.
Waste management has been the most important feature of cities since, i dunno, maybe the Romans, probably way before.
(Glaring at what Athens has become.)

Not that I wanna save the parking spaces or anything, fuck em, but why aren’t they doing underground garbage bins?
Or, for that matter, a pneumatic trash system like the one on Roosevelt Island.
That is hell to maintain and breaks way too often. It’s cool, but impractical.
Still better than having trash pile up on the street like the rest of NYC apparently did, though.
There’s already lots of stuff directly underneath the street in New York City, due to 400 years of bad planning
Pipes, wires, sewer, subways… The list really does go on. If you go directly under any random street in New York, you’re gonna hit something pretty quickly.
You forgot to mention all the cool stuff.
MTA said, ‘no 😶’. Probably.
If only there were transportation options that didn’t require parking spaces in New York City…
These could also become bus lanes or bike lanes, which are in pretty high demand nowadays
Not trying to refute your point, but a benefit of the bins is definitely the fact you can’t park a car on them, although I suppose adding tall barriers between a car lane and bike lane would help prevent that, but I’m not sure what solution bus lanes would work with.
That’s a silly place to park a car anyways
Honestly an upgrade
OK, this was really shortsighted of the Adams administration when they started requiring trash bins. They should’ve required that they be kept near the buildings where they already were collecting trash and they should have started rolling out a wheelie bin program for trash bins to be distributed throughout the city over the next couple of years from when the requirement began.
But administrations shifted and the cost burden didn’t want to get picked up by the new administration… The whole program was handled very poorly, and this is what we get.
This is yet another opportunity for Mamdani to step up and do something good, but the solution isn’t very clear cut at all, and no matter what he comes up with, some group of people is gonna be upset by it. This is a real mess.
I’m sorry, what’s the downside here? Why are you upset?
Have you ever been to the city?
I have and this wouldn’t bug me. Most people I know there walk or tale the subway and don’t even have cars. Whenever I went there was garbage all over the streets. I’m thinking this would be an improvement. And since the garbage is all being collected from one place now we can focus efforts in the future to making the dumpster thing look nicer.
Not being able to park there seems to be the only issue if I’m not mistaken? I’d love to know what other issues it could cause though. Maybe I’m just missing them?
