The year is 1705 in Colonial America, I am a lower class citizen living in the outskirts of Boston MA. How is solid waste handled, is there raw sewage flooding the streets, is the putrid smell normalized to me? What measures are taken by the city leaders / officials to clean up this on going waste?
