Very good news. And a five-year timeline is pretty fast by municipal standards.
Also:
"The city has roughly three million parking spaces, and full trash containerization is expected to take about 150,000 spaces, or 5 percent."

3 pledges from Mamdani today:
—government-owned grocery stores in all 5 boroughs by end of term, first one in Spanish Harlem next year.
—citywide trash containerization in a neighborhood in each city council district by the end of the year, full containerization by 2031.
—huge rapid bus buildout.

native packages will never go away, you at least need to have enough base system to be able to run the containerization framework, but imo containerization done properly is better for 90% of user facing applications than native applications
death to system shared libraries basically

Worst than that, even, he's backpedaling on containerization defector.com/andrew-cuomo...
showing this guy has no idea what is going on in the city, garbage getting picked up has never been an issue
Next up is Andrew Cuomo. He says the election is "fairly simple."
"The city is in real trouble, crime, homelessness, etc. Who can actually make gov work? Who can get the garbage picked up, who can get the mentally ill off the streets, who can make the city safe? "

Including technologies most people aren’t even aware of, like containerization of freight.
The populist fallacy much beloved for example of certain New Statesman writers is that globalisation has run its course and we're now in an age of nationalism, which ignores that it wasn't politicians that brought us here, it was technology, and that isn't going away.

Shipping companies made more profits between 2020 to 2023 than they previously made in total since 1957, when containerization started. WHAT.

Much like congestion pricing, trash containerization is going to be controversial until NYC actually does it.
6 months in, the fact that the city tolerated a massive disgusting rat infestation for decades so that a few hundred people could park their cars for free will seem crazy in hindsight.

I think i want to research how containerization has changed pretty much everything heavy we have to worse quality
I did not buy furniture 20 years ago, but soooooo much today is crap, unless you go really really expensive, which is unaffordable for lower or middle class salaries. Was this always the case? A genuine question

This an interesting theory, but unfortunately containerization is once again the culprit. Globally we see trends where deep water ports gain on mid tier ports and bi lateral trade ends up routed through more select cities
If the Jones Act was never adopted, urbanization would not have been limited to deep water seaports. River ports would have grown at similar rate after 1920.
St. Louis would be one of the biggest cities in the world. West Virginia would have remained a major manufacturing hub.

It's been three weeks since the storm. Shovel out these cars, tow them, and turn the space into bike parking, public seating, on-street garbage containerization, bioswales... anything other than car storage would serve more people than this.

Containerization of this system is going to be key to nudging their way into the export market. Easily the most broadly marketable Ukrainian system
Do you think this is what Russia had in mind when it planned its “three-day Special Military Operation” and the capture of Kyiv?
