And fellows who picked up the sh.. and loaded it on the wagon and carted it to a dump. Which became a model for street sweeping which is a solution that modern cities should be grateful for.

How was it a bad thing for the 1900 city denizens to see a problem that would probably get worse, and devise a solution?

Should they instead have decided that the problem might go away by itself, so they should waste no thought on a solution?
