An ever-growing number of rodents in California -- particularly in Los Angeles -- is being fueled by a spiking homeless population and restrictions on rodenticides that are risking a public health crisis, according to a study released Tuesday.

The report by political action committee Reform California cites recent rodent-related events over the past six months, including an employee at the Los Angeles Police Department contracting Typhus and a rat falling from the ceiling of a Buffalo Wild Wings onto the menu of a patron, as proof of an "undeniable problem" in the Golden State.

Sad to say, my son (the liberal) lives in L.A. When I told him a year or two that I was concerned with the filth over there, he said That was normal for the big cities now. I guess at some point (like an outbreak of the plague) I could insist he send my two grandsons out to where I live in rural Louisiana.

Hopefully one day your son see’s the light and leaves the liberal silliness on the left. I’m hoping the same for my brother.

BTW notice how every Dem city is a sanctuary city and also a city with increasingly more and more homelessness and stench?

Are they talking about rats, about homeless, or illegal aliens? I think they have a problem with all three.

My jurisdiction had to deal with this for a couple years, in and out of courts ect. The second place the homeless moved to was uptown. Residents didn’t want them there. They crossed the street to Walmart and Walmart had to double its security staff. Took 4 long years to resolve it.
