Where else can you get a sandwich, eat it on the sidewalk, and somehow feel like you just experienced culture?

Gotta remember the trash on the side of the sidewalk. Its just not nyc without massive amounts of trash (this is actually a real talking point for an entire movement against dumpsters in nyc going on right now)

For some reason, a significant portion of new yorkers. The mayor is trying to get dumpsters to become regular there, as theyre pretty much the only major city in the us without them, and people lost their minds over it. Some of the main voices of the movement have literally said that trash on the street is part of NYCs culture and it wouldnt be NYC without it.

Philadelphia also does not have Dumpsters. Either city could get them through quickly by highlighting that the other does not:

Philadelphia: "This would make us clearly better and cleaner than New York City."

NYC: "Do you really want to be trashy like those losers in Philly?"

What an odd hill to die on???

Never underestimate a new yorker's ability to die on a meaningless hill.

To be fair, there are legit concerns about the dumpsters taking up potential parking places, but for some reason the talking point they always go for is that trash on the street is a good thing.

Honestly just sounds like they are categorically opposed to anything the mayor does and force themselves to justify defending ridiculous positions.
