As noted the city, the complaints from his neighbors include rat infestations, which suggests less 'work' and more 'hoarding'.

Rat infestation is such a subjective term.

Rats are literally everywhere.

Right? If you've never lived on a farm you don't know what rats are.

The wort thing is, if you can kill the rats in your barn, you create a power vacuum for the rats around you to invade.

It's a maddening problem.

"Rat infestation" is a subjective term, but multiple neighbors complaining enough about rats for fines to stack up indefinitely isn't a subjective phenomenon.

Not defending this guy but NIMBY-types tend to attribute all negative things that occur in an area to the “black sheep” they don’t want around.

Not defending NIMBYs or YIMBYs but lumping this case under the anti-NIMBY tent is really stretching the meaning of YIMBY.
