  Speaker 1: Now it's sevent ten wars Beat on the Street with
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: Natalie Migliori. Oh, Natalie, up from the streets here to
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: the sweets with my favorite subject matter, rats, the two
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: legged kind of the full legged kind.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: I guess we'll find out. It depends on how you
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: chase them down. Now, let me tell you something. New
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: York City spent the month rolling out trash containers in
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: parts of Brooklyn. They're called Empire bins. Okay, you may
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: have seen them in the Morningside area, even on Manhattan's
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: District nine Upper what is it, the Upper east Side,
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: that would be morning Side. I'm stuttering here, okay, And
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: they've already had these big gray containers that sort of
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: mimic a dumpster, but they're gray and a bit more
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: modernized in a sense.
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: It's all part of the city's containerization.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: Initiative that aims at getting rats off our streets.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: You guys know this. We've covered this several times.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: Where the rats are going if we've gotten rid of them,
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: So has New York City fixed its rat problems.
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: You're not going to fix the problem. You're not gonna
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: do it. Rats have very smart and remember if they
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: was to try to fix their out problem like for example,
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: squirls and all of that. Then number one I kept
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: put poison because of other animals. Will add number one.
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: Number two. The rats have been aroundful hundreds of years
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: in New York City. They know they survived the lizard.
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: If they will survived the coldest weather in New York
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: this year, they will not destroy the rast. Just get
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: better garbage.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, get better garbage. And that's the plan, really
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: better garbage. There's an informational session in Brooklyn Community District
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: two areas including Dumbo in Brooklyn Heights this evening at six.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: That's the next.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: Area where properties are going to have these containerized trash
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: and that's supposed to come by the fall. So after
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: showing the design to this New Yorker, she may have
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: changed her mind about effectiveness.
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: I'm for that COVID of garbage. Make sure that they
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: sterilize it when they finished take it out. That only
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: should be in New York City, should be in all
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: over New York apartments housing. That should be something that
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: they should roll all over. I do think so it
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: seems like it's more like secure and like the trash
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: should be more like fined. Not where the has really
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: gets them, Like, what would that do?
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: I mean, don't we already have that? They think you
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: would keep the rats away?
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Why?
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: How?
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: I guess they wouldn't.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Be able to climb out of or into these trash bins.
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: Maybe, yeah, maybe that'll work if that's where they come from.
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: I thought it was best from the underground system they
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: come from.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: I might be wrong.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was really loud on the streets these days,
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: but she was saying she thought it came from the
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: underground part of town, like our subways. But really, if
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: you're a real New Yorker, let's face it, you know,
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: rats probably come from everywhere and anywhere. So once the
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: city containerizes trash block by block, really we could lose
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: out on thousands of parking spots something we've seen like
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: thirty thousand maybe by the time these containers come to
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: the streets. So what do New Yorkers think about that?
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: I don't think they would be very happy with that.
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: It's already bad enough as it is so overpopulated, so
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: I would say it's worth it. I take, like the
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: public transportation, Okay, that's gonna mess up the whole car
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: struggle we already have here.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: That doesn't sound too good.
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, let them do it because getting rid of the
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: round and one courting on the couffee spot. Let them conte.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, people are like take public transportation instead, But people
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: from Jersey will tell you they can't rely on end
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: transit and they need to find a parking spot or
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: if their time slot is you know, but really, we
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: haven't seen we haven't. Three one one says that rat
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: complaints have gone down.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: Oh do you see the rats? You're nocturnal.
