Correct on all fronts! But I would hate to have drones falling out the sky in addition to fireworks. BTW it has gotten better but still depends where you are i

  Drones replacing fireworks make sense only in a swarm. I doubt that anyone would launch a drone with kids on midnight, so there's no danger of rain of drones on new year. And a drone show or even several shows in different parts of the city, that are operated by a licensed organization and with a safety clearance from city at worst case may create some trash, but it is very unlikely to actually harm anyone. Compare this to all the damage caused by fireworks this year (including a burned bus!) and a lot of trash on the streets even in places where it was explicitly forbidden.

    I agree, I wouldn't mind if fireworks for the general public would be banned. But then I would also ban Xmas trees that get purchased a month before (a week before they get cut down) and month afterwards the very same trees are lying around on the pavement. Complete resource wastage and environmental catastrophe. For what? For a tradition that most people don't believe in but because children seem to need it, we continue on with it. In isolation comparing drones to fireworks, I would go for fireworks. In the big scheme of things, ban them both - drones and fireworks on safety, environmental and resource basis. Alternatively everyone gets a AR goggles and can replay their personal favourite entertainment for new years!
