Require large apartment complexes owned by multi-millionaire landlords to dispose of their waste properly and quickly to prevent rat infestations and other pests.

Overcrowding spreads communicable diseases, increases risk of fire and creates unlivable conditions. It’s everyone’s right to live in a safe and healthy home.
