They are kidding. Don’t. It’s illegal to dump snow on the harbor.

It is indeed.

Try to go to Cambridge McDonald’s at night… from the park to the restaurant is packed of rats

Wherever it’ll fit that isn’t the sidewalk.

There’s hardly any snow right now. Just wait.

Maybe it is that I have a cat but I have never had a real issue with rats in Allston. Not only are they not in or around my apartment but I don’t see them often either. Maybe I am just not looking.

First sentence gave me a chuckle

Hm… this isn’t Cleveland Circle, is it?

Build lots.of snowmen ?

Tree pits or lamp posts that make part of the sidewalk unusable?

Ya, I've done a lot of that, although never 2 blocks. More like 2 or 3 car lengths.

Agreed, but if there's a way that you could convince my negligent neighbors of that, I'd love for you to!

But also feral/stray colonies who live outdoors still don't deserve to die a painful death from rat poison.

Kind of an ignorant caption if you ask me.

A rat stole my wife

It is also against the law to leave walkways unshoveled, yet the City of Boston mostly doesn't shovel walks in front of their property.

If I saw enforcement of landlords leaving commercial walkways unhoveled or the city actually making an effort to clear sidewalks at crossings on commercial streets after a big storm I might be concerned about moving snow into the first 6 inches of roadway.

Ah yes, the sidewalk tunnels… brings back memories haha

And if there's a storm drain make sure that's uncovered too, when the snow melts it will need somewhere to go! Obviously not as much of an issue now because this was not much snow, but when we get a foot or more, it's pretty common for drains to get blocked by mounds of snow. There's one near my house that we learned the hard way to ensure it stays clear, because otherwise every basement on our side of the street floods when the snow melts.

Sorry, but cats should not be left outdoors without strict supervision. Ever. They are terrible for wildlife!

Or cats

The rats I've seen in Boston are about the size of squirrels, only with hairless tails instead of furry tails.

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

It’s against the law to shovel snow into the street in Boston

When the Big Dig began in the early 1990's, hundreds of subterranean rats were displaced and made their way into the city.

There's been a rat problem in Boston ever since.

There really isn’t that much.

Take it up with the Squeaker of the Mouse.

There will always be rats anywhere that humans live in close proximity to each other. Heck, I've even seen rats in rural areas.
