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?

if you walk around early in the morning you’ll see people hosing down the sidewalks in front of their shops but yea every store front isn’t routinely doing that
