Its the food and affordable housing that protects against the elements. NY is not the worst city for rats, the rat community would not agree with that. Its a prime location for a rat to raise his rat family and little rat children. The subway offers ample affordable housing for rats. There are plenty of food options for rats as people usually toss garbage into trash containers that are overflowing, and so food is on the ground. Plenty of garbage during garbage pickup nights for the rats to feast on.

Rats are not fan of Deblasio who said and I quote "“We want to make the greatest city on earth the worst place in the world to be a rat".

Plus... who could forget about New Years day, where over a thousands of people toss food, and drop bottles of liquor on the floor. This gives the rats a feast, enough food for months, to scurry away in the subway or behind some restaurant with a "C" grade.

So again, NY is not a bad city for rats, because the size of a rat, and how fat a rat bastard is is directly proportional to how good a city is to a rat bastard.

Rats are blue collared folks. Always working. But people are always trying to step on the little guys. Rats are good people.
