Has NYC finally quit it with their stupid idea of just letting trash bags sit on the street? This is something that basically every other city in the world has figured out.
I left NYC many years ago. I was still young when i had to leave. But I remember how dirty it was. I recently went back. It still is dirty. It’s by design. Sometimes the only trash bags I’d see get picked up by the city were the ones the homeless taped together over the sewer/ subway to make vents so the hot air could reach into people’s "tents’.
I have been there. You do. If you are actually interested in learning about it, look up how there deposal system works and maybe visit e.g. Tokyo once. Tokyo can be nasty.
Well that’s how trash pickup is done all across the country. Clear plastic bags (usually you have to purchase them specific to each ward and each trash type) on the footpath a few times a week. Usually gone by lunch time. Apartment buildings can end up with huge piles of them. The crows love picking apart the bags and spreading trash about.
Japan really isn’t some mythical cleanly place and I’ve no idea how they managed to get that stereotype. I’ve seen fly tipping, piss jugs, trash along the motorways, riverbanks covered in empty drink bottles. Its the same as anywhere else.

The entire countries of Egypt and Jordan would like to have a word with you.
It was a corruption issue. Has nothing to do with fixing issues
Except like, the entirety of Japan.
Also, Barcelona and many other Mediterranean cities
I haven’t been to Japan, but from what I hear, it’s not the kind of place where you’re going to find piles of trash bags on the street.

Then you visited a different Tokyo then me. Cleanest city I’ve ever been in, and I’m from Germany.
Well Tokyo is huge. But e.g. shibuya isn’t that niche and I walked on a sticky ground through broken glass there.
Tokyo is mostly clean. I am not saying that it is dirty.
I am saying, in Japan, seeing trash bag on the street is not usual (for collection usually) and e.g. Tokyo CAN be nasty.
Switzerland outside the massive amount of graffiti , it was the cleanest place I’ve ever been
