To maintain this issue, the New York Department of Sanitation has developed hybrid buses and taxis, and is also working with truck manufacturers to introduce gas-electric hybrid garbage trucks.
The Homeless - Overpopulation can result in lack of jobs. This can result to families becoming homeless. There are over 11,000 homeless families living in New York. To help these families, 50 000 homeless shelters have been built in NYC.
