Surprisingly, rats don’t actually care how much money humans earn or pay for their housing. The rat problem around Coolidge Corner is as bad as I ever saw when I lived in Brighton. Lots of restaurants = lots of rats.

Who knew that rats are attracted to the smell of lots of food scraps and easy access?

If you ever want to get rid of the rats - Dutch underground trash collection system - It is almost never full or over flowing, keeps out the rats, and if they get in, keeps in the rats - until collection day.

I live in Amsterdam. Those things are cool. There are also still rats everywhere.

Also, trash collection for private homes involves just putting your bags out on the curb, no bins, a system which keeps the mice and rats very happy.

Perhaps the building code for residential/commercial/industrial - should be modified or at least looked at.

It’s always the Dutch… never got why their ovens are so bad compared to literally everything else they do.

Once tried to make the thanksgiving turkey with a Dutch oven. Lost my girlfriend, dog, the respect of my family… but most of all, I lost my original gotta catch ‘em all bedsheets due to grease stains.

Can't blame shitting your bed on Thanksgiving on the Dutch.
