NYC is Becoming a Dump… On Purpose

NYC has a serious garbage problem, and there were over 40k rodent sightings last year.... yet nobody seems to have any good solutions to this issue.

Too many dirty rats and too many dirty politicians. Which is worse??

The 2024 annual budget for NYC is $107 BILLION. The city isn't short on money, it's bloated in corruption and incompetence. But this is what the citizens voted for

[markall]

The city is more concerned with taking Care of illegals and spending the money on them!

It's 2024 and New Yorkers have only just discovered garbage bins. Crazy, stacking up bags in the street and they scratch their heads why there's a rat problem. Great job guys.

Living in NYC seems like a punishment to me.

[megaflux]

its not a housing crisis.. its a leadership crisis!

When I went to NYC, I asked my friend if the garbage collectors were on strike, and he said too calmly ‘nah, that’s just what it looks like here’ 😭

Why can't New York City deal with rats? I don't understand. I live in Seoul, South Korea. There are probably many Seoul citizens who have never seen a real rat in their lives. In Seoul, if you throw away trash that contains even a little food, you will be severely punished, fined, and opened to neighbors. If you put food waste in a separate bag in front of your house, it will be collected at dawn. Recycling is done thoroughly. If Seoul mayor had neglected as many rats as New York, he would never be able to participate in politics again and could be arrested immediately after a thorough investigation.

Man this country’s just going down the toilet. I think what we’re witnessing is the fall of our great cities.

Rats are gonna start giving guided tours of NYC.

Funny thing is....I visited Japan, Tokyo and Niigata. Didn't see a single vermin in Tokyo. I blame culture and the politicians.

Honestly, that says a lot about the people who live in New York and not just the mayor who may not have the money or resources to educate the citizens there or have a solution to the problem that they themselves create in their neighborhood. Because everyone is responsible for keeping their neighborhood clean and not contaminating other neighborhoods and creating a decent place for all of them to live.

If you want to get rid of trash.
1) Put your trash in a box. 📦
2) Slap an Amazon sticker on it.📠
3) Place the box by your door. 🚪
4) Wait for the box to be stolen. 🏃🏼‍➡️
5) Repeat. 😅😂🤣

For Rats …. Get some advice from farmers who deal with rats all the time.

How about outdoor trash can sheds for apartment dwellers?

What happened to yesterday's good episode??? They are removing your stuff for being too informative now? wow

[Thisworldisdoomed]

The scariest thing is the mayor actually thinks he's doing a good job. He also thinks New York is the safest city in the country. You can't be any more detached from reality.

When was this place not a dump ? I left there 20 years ago and I could not even visit there again, tall building and everything is loud and smells like 💩. No one has manners or courtesy, everyone in a rush, half the Infrastructure is crumbling, potholes like craters, traffic everywhere, subway smells like piss . I'm good . All American major cities are now 3 rd world 💩holes

[DonP-bq]

I went there in 2019 and was amazed to see piles of trash 20 feet tall. The whole city smelled like urine and garbage. It was revolting. I can't imagine what it is like now.

[thisvagabondlife]

The stench of NYC in the summer with all that garbage makes me ponder why anyone would want to live there or visit there.

You went from real estate agent to community activist. Probably not what you planned. You’re a journalist now and you’re doing a great job.

Thank You for showing us the side of NYC that not everyone knows about, Great video!! I’m a retired NYPD, I was born in Brooklyn and left for Florida In 2002… we have always had rats in NYC and most of the boroughs… but not as bad as now. It is the bad government and bad politicians. I will always be a New Yorker at heart. Would definitely not move back! I have been in Florida for over 20 years and never have seen a rat and we don’t put our trash out in bags, nor do the restaurants. Trash goes out the night before in bins. LOVE your YouTube videos!! Keep them coming !
