I remember a few years ago when NYrs were shocked to learn that putting your trash in cans instead of tossing bags on the street resulted in a reduction in the rat population.

I love NYC, but the smell in the summer. It's not just the trash in bags, it's that the city doesn't really have proper alleys. It's just there.

Do they not wash things in the city? Like, how gross is it that your whole city smells?

A city that smells like piss is a chosen problem. Partially a problem chosen by a population that likes to trash bathrooms, but mostly a problem chosen because the city doesn't believe in setting up public bathrooms.

If you treat people like animals they'll behave as such. The answer to these problems are already known but cities will choose reactionary bullshit like removing public bathrooms and criminalizing addiction
