Los Angeles is a mess.

The city has a massive homeless problem and a rat problem to match.

So when the mayor Eric Garcetti lectures Trump on taking care of the environment, it’s impossible to take him seriously.

The mayor recently tweeted this:

At all levels of government, it is our responsibility to protect the health of our people and safeguard our environment. We won’t allow the Trump Administration to stall the progress we’ve made here in L.A. to take toxic fumes out of our air. https://t.co/j2qVSTCVyV — Mayor Eric Garcetti (@MayorOfLA) February 22, 2019

Yet his city is mired in garbage.

NBC Southern California reported:

Garbage Piles and Rats Are Stinking Up LA’s Famed Fashion District

LA’s world-famous Fashion District has become the city’s unofficial garbage can, anchored by a quickly expanding 12-ton mountain of trash that’s the result of months of illegal dumping, creating a massive public health nightmare.

Frustrated business owners contacted the I-Team to show us how a burned out commercial building on East Pico Boulevard, once a clothing showroom, has become a dumping ground for an estimated 12 tons of trash. That’s even after their repeated calls to 3-1-1 to clean up the mess that’s swarming with rats and flies.

The trash from the building is spilling out into the public alley, where it’s a breeding ground for armies of rodents. And, homeless people are living in the huge health hazard.

“This is embarrassing,” said Joe Song, owner of Glam Apparel, which backs up to the trash mountain. “In the heart of Los Angeles, I cannot believe we have this. And there’s nobody doing anything about it.”

Take a look at the image in the tweet below:

You have to see it to believe it: 12 tons of uncollected garbage, swarming with rats, are stinking up LA's Famed Fashion District, threatening 1000s of workers and customers. @NBCLA I-Team called @MayorOfLA about it, and he orders a clean up.

Do I understand correctly? Mayor Garcetti and City Hall didn't know about this? Or did they know about it and do nothing until the media showed up? https://t.co/kbSf1KrYIr — Joel Engel (@joelengel) June 29, 2019

The news reports caused the city to quietly and quickly clean up this particular site:

Sanitation crews cleared away 12 tons of rat-infested trash last night from this site in ⁦@LAFashionDist⁩ , after ⁦@NBCLA⁩ ITeam called ⁦@MayorOfLA⁩ about the public health hazard. The city had received 23 calls on 311 but failed to clean mess til I-Team report pic.twitter.com/aiIGUHjByV — Joel Grover (@JoelNBCLA) June 28, 2019

The mayor of LA has a lot of nerve lecturing anyone on the environment.
