It’s easily over 50% of households.

Maybe that experiment didn't work out so well. Tocqueville worried that it could amount to the many voting on the assets of the few.

And now that you can only use these types of cans, it now leaves them open to theft.

They could roll the bins out to the truck and have the truck lift it and empty it but that's time consuming and not worth it unless the bins are heavy.

They can't. In my local city it's a two man, manual process with the wheeled containers because of the cars parked on the road.

I saw that method in Palm Springs when I was there.
but how will that be able to happen here in NY with all the cars parked along the streets?

Maybe they'll start to collect garbage during alternate side parking

How so? Taxes aren’t voluntary payments.

My esteemed fellow Moderator believes that only property owners should vote. So essentially you are buying your way into a chance to vote with the acquisition of land.
