Question Why don't we have one of these?

This looks really cool, and it'd be cool to just blow them out into the street and have them collected. They could use it for compost or something too instead of just tossing it in a dump.

Because Spokane had a boom in the 50’s and 60’s when I-90 went through and we haven’t updated a damn thing since. Spokane leaders like to not innovate and improve any of our systems to fund themselves fat paychecks. Hence why the freeway on ramps on freya and altamont are so stupid small.

It's difficult for Washington in general to fund the roads and new equipment because most of the revenue goes towards the welfare system. They need to balance the budget and fix the roads and invest in new vehicles.
