NYC's horrible stench during summer

I was talking to my friend last night who lives in NYC, and he mentioned how horrible the stench is in the city during summer. He described it as a mixture of feces, urine, and decaying garbage. I guess the main reason for this is the fact that NYC does not have alleys and people put their garbage bags on the street corners. During summer, it is bound to smell pretty bad as all the rotten garbage just lays out there.

I never understood how a city that is supposedly so wealthy cannot adopt basic sanitation standards like the rest of the civilized world. NYC is so behind other major cities like Chicago, in terms of overall urban planning and design.

I'm in a large Brazilian city interning. There's a river, giant open sewage, which is absolutely horrendous. It's the kind of stench that you're afraid that if you are by it too long you'll smell the same. I guess Brazil has an excuse, but you'd expect a little better from New York.
