What are dangers for a raccoon in the city?

Cities provide the raccoon with everything it needs to survive with little effort on the part of the animal. Food is easily available in trash bins or from pet food left outside at night as well as from gardens and orchards. Shelter is easily found in urban areas as raccoons take advantage of abandoned buildings, attics, storm sewers and under homes in crawl spaces for dens. To the raccoon, the city is a paradise.
