Even though he doesn’t live there anymore, I’ve talked to people from the South Side who say the entire block is cordoned off, with checkpoints, etc.
And no trick or treating allowed! Seriously....

Whenever you have high population density, coupled with a culture that does not emphasize discipline regarding waste, with trash in bags and bags in secure, covered heavy containers, and chastising litterers, and preventing entry into homes, while searching out the dens of rats and destroying them - and does not expect the government to do this - then you can expect rats to multiply.
