Before cars were common, despite bicycles, trams, and trains all existing for a long time, our cities were filled with horses. Horses have this habit of shitting everywhere, and cars were welcomed because they made the cities cleaner and less disease ridden.

The horses filled a need that other things could not. Cars then filled that need. That needs still exists today, like it or not. It's best we make them as clean as we can.
