Chicago Passes New York...

[Flyn]

...as the undisputed and new rat capital of the U.S.

Congrats Chicagoans for finally taking the cheese.

The Second City has been dubbed the "rat capital" of America according to apartment search service RentHop, which said Chicago had the highest amount of rat-related complaints of four major U.S. cities.

The data compiled by the website showed that there were more than 50,000 rat-related complaints in 2017, which is a 55 percent increase since 2014.

"The abundance of garbage and buildings in The Windy City makes it a great location for these rats to seek shelter and food for survival," according to RentHop. "The presence of these furry critters poses a threat to city dwellers due to the fact that they are capable of spreading diseases and cause allergic reactions to humans and animals."

The worst neighborhoods in the Windy City were Logan Square, Englewood and West Ridge.

I have seen rats the size of large cats outside of my whse.

New York has garbage all over their sidewalks and is disgusting. This article can say what it wants, but New York is pure filth compared to Chicago.

I've never been to NY but just by watching TMNT, place is a dump

The 90s movie?

You are going to compare NYC to a movie made almost 30 years ago? Chicago looks like shit in the Blues Brothers bro.

I must have missed garbage day in NY. I know they put it out on the curb, but thats what you get for not having an alley for every place like Chicago.

I remember seeing the biggest rats I'd even seen while at UIC. I thought it was a racoon going through the trash until it stepped into the light.

I worked in all areas of Chicago, there are some POS lazy ass people living in garbage for no reason!!!
If everyone would just pick up 1 piece of something, it would be clean, but they are too damn lazy!!!!

I'm in the Joliet ghetto and it is amazing the little kids playing on top of broken glass, metal scraps, food wrappers etc etc and nobody does a damn thing???

At least clean your little corner of the world, instead of living like animals blaming every one but your self!!!
Some dude in a Mercedes didn't drive down from Burr Ridge and break a bottle in your driveway, one of you did!!!

Typical blame everyone but yourself people!!!
OH YEA, great parenting!!!!

I’ll take Chicago cat rats over the ones in NY that are KARATE EXPERTS.

I've been to New York and when comparing the inner cities, Chicago is definitely cleaner and nicer. But step just outside into the industrial districts and Chicago loses...again.

Our neighborhood had a colony of feral cats so rats were never an issue. But those cats had seen some shit. Scary fuckers when I saw them in the alley at night.

NY is definitely dirtier than Chicago

I'd prefer the rats over some of the residents here in Chicago. At least rats aren't shooting each other by the thousands every year.

Complaints registered are the key words. In NYC, they don't complain about them as they're considered "New Yorkers" also.

Can't beat 'em, feed 'em.

Clio was one of many of my pet rats over the years. She made it to a screen background on an old XP Dell Laptop.
The smile is real.

I see that Dominican Republic thread calling 'all' humans bad because of those scummy pigs. I'll take the rats any day, thank you.

Why did you scratch out all of your porn applications on your desktop? I like how you even blended the colors with the paint program

 

[zenriddles]

Because you must dig up that smut on your own to truly appreciate it, young padawan.

 

[MrMezger996]

Only thing I read is Chicagoians complain more then New Yorkers when it comes to rats....

 

[The Bluegrass Nomad]

People, people, please. Both cities are equally garbage.

 

[Chester Copperpot]

People, people, please. Most cities are garbage.

yup

 

[The Bluegrass Nomad]

yup

True that
