Most people live like pigs now, expecting everyone and anyone to do the work for them. Whether it’s not picking up dog crap ( a rat favored dish) or putting out their trash like they live in a 3rd world country the common decency towards other has vanished. Simple life rule that your parents should have taught you- “clean up after yourself” and most of these problems would go away.

You're saying that if we have more rats, we'll have less of a dog shit situation? This sounds less like a problem and more like an opportunity.

But you’re stretching it a lot.
Have some respect. Even if they are just rats.

with rats and we can thank the demolition of the L Street power plant for upsetting them.
The City and elected officials do not care about the displaced rodents, lead paint and asbestos dust covering the neighborhood.

I think I may have found a more suitable city job for "rats get bats" Shana Cottone and Joseph Abasciano.

I don't know if 311 is allowed to say that but if you expect someone to send a car out...

If Southie rats are anything like the rock-runner rats around Harbor Point's shore those are some mighty big rats!

Is nothing but a tool for neighbors to rat each other out. We’ve become a society of rats because of it. The politicians created this so their offices wouldn’t have to field phone calls or emails from their ratty constituents.

This never would have happened in old Southie.

Could have been worse, could have been belligerent guinea pigs.
