Nothing pissed me off like a city with no trash cans when I still smoked cigarettes and carried the butts with me. Walked for blocks and blocks with no place to dispose of them responsibly. Fuck you, Berkeley.

I'm not surprised at all just amused of course it would be fucking Berkeley. I was expecting Fort Worth because that was mine.

A lot of cities have been convincing themselves through selective mckinseyshit studies that removing trash cans makes people litter less, because those cities don't want to pay for updated cans or sanitation service. Which completely neglects the majority of people who don't litter, do use trash cans, and pay a lot of tax money for government services like sanitation.

We have plenty of trash cans with ashtrays, and people still litter and throw their cigarette butts everywhere. Humans are just gross.
