I get why cities support crows, rats, raccoons, and other animals that eat our garbage, but squirrels don’t. What do cities offer squirrels?

Many of their natural predators are not big fans of humans and are not found in large quantities in cities. They still have access to their normal food source inside a city so their population size is larger.
