Common Bad

I dislike traffic. I cannot understand why no one enforces traffic rules in NYC. Vehicles park randomly in the middle of the road with drivers nowhere to be found. Sometimes the drivers are even happily unloading goods off the back of the truck while remaining blissfully unaware/unconcern about the traffic holdup that they are causing.

So my dear bus has to take one massive loop around this stationary-gas-emitting vehicle before it can proceed with its slow crawl to my apartment. Why are there no loitering tow trucks to haul these vehicles into oblivion?

We are nowhere close to Pareto efficiency. 1 (or 2 or more) inconsiderate driver/s versus a street cramped with vehicles. Hello? The darn traffic is severely lowering my utility!!! I am sure those people can drive/walk/park somewhere else. Please, at least give them a ticket so that the city has more money to hire more traffic cops.

Singapore's practicality is sorely missed. The lovely ERP ensures smooth traffic. Let the rich pay! I am sure I can accommodate one or two or even ten limos on 42nd St. Just get rid of all those trucks/cars and the other economically unviable stuff.

Oh, and I cannot understand why garbage is thrown out onto the sidewalks in NYC. Does the garbage truck come around and pick up bags of trash off the sidewalks? And it is not just the dubious chinatown stores with such nasty habits. Starbucks, Burger King etc, everyone does this garbage on sidewalk thing (in broad daylight). Why why. I simply cannot comprehend.
