    There are gonna be a lot of people that don’t live in New York that romanticize this and are gonna be upset.

    I don’t live in New York. But I’ve seen the poop scoopers at the end of a parade. I doubt anyone actually living in New York is upset about this. Feel free to prove me wrong.

      The only people in NYC upset are the carriage workers who are losing their jobs and the transportation union who is representing them and has been fighting to stop this for years. Otherwise it’s pretty much a great idea, hopefully they can get those people jobs doing something else
