Just think, if the current city leaders of Philly get their way, and "urban sprawl" ends...will all of those extra people who get stuck inside the city limits add or subtract from the overall stench?!

While much of the surface-streets malodor emanates from Philadelphia's growing homeless population, one of Stinkmeister's faithful colleagues has twice spotted well-dressed men peeing in the Suburban Station concourse, blissfully ignoring its 24-hour restroom.

Makes me wonder why they're not using the bathrooms - maybe because the ass rangers are using them to exercise their rights? Note to the whiner, er, writer: pinkos like you fell all over yourselves to show how tolerant and compassionate you were toward the "downtrodden." Now live with the consequences.

When I saw the headline I thought it was SF.

"but a person lying out in the street in his own urine or feces is not a person exercising his civil liberties. He's a person in desperate need of help."

Someone finally said it. Bring back the psych hospitals. Fund those instead of all these 'services' for the homeless. These people should not be on the streets.

And the mayor of this city did such a splendid job of running it, he was elected governor. Go figure.

Walking down the street with wife and friends in San Francisco. I think Bay Ave near Pier 39 just outside TraveLodge or some other hotel. There was a large pile of feces. My wife says "honey, why do people let there dogs do that?" I replied, I don't think that was from a dog. Two years ago.

I saw the headline and figured this was going to be a story about San Francisco.

Thank God for Rudy Giuliani. Thank God for Rudy Giuliani. Thank God for Rudy Giuliani.

We gotta bunch of sorry-ass Democrats in Kansas City in the local city council that run the police dept indirectly(finacially) a wimp-ass chief of police. They are killing our downtown. Crack dealer within the sight of the police dept. Bums feed on a daily basis. Downtown car break-ins that the police don't even file reports on.

[AF68]

After a steady diet of antiseptic news filtered by the liberal gatekeepers, it's so refreshing to read about the pee and poop left in the wake of compassionate liberalism.

Stinkin' BUMP!

San Francisco is a dump (pardon the pun). It's liberalism has essentially created a homeless beggar industry with more beggars per block than anywhere else I've been (in the US anyway). It's really sad considering what a beautiful place it's been and could be.

I did too!

I agree. That would be the truest sense of "compassion" for these people. But the liberals and their "services" still don't get it.

[nothingnew]

Bring back the psych hospitals.

Stinkon' BUMP!

The solution is stunningly simple - cut off their food. Just like any other animal, these homeless bums have to move on if no food is available. They essentially choose their "lifestyle" because so many poor chumps cough up enough money for food AND booze, drugs, etc.

"Dare we ping FReeper tpaine and tell him about THIS:

The Stinkmeister was strolling down the west side of Broad Street, nurtured by nature's tree-lined block between Arch and City Hall, when a park-bench dweller casually lowered his gray sweatpants and peed a few liters on the Thomas Paine Plaza wall."

I personally do not have the courage. :o)

TAKE A WALK down the Suburban Station steps to the patio at 16th Street and JFK Plaza and you'll find yourself in a wasteland of wasted humans and human waste.

If a place named JFK Plaza smelled like anything other than crap and urine, I'd be mighty disappointed.

Last time I was in Philly was some.. 12-14 years ago. It was a nasty hellhole at the time. Sounds like it still is..

[LibertyAndJusticeForAll]

Paul Levy, executive director of the Center City District, whose mission is to attract residents, tourists and businesses by keeping downtown clean, said Philadelphia agencies have housed and social-serviced "all but the most shelter-resistant, most seriously addicted, most mentally ill people."

The seriously mentally ill must be removed from the streets to institutions where they can possibly become truly functional again, or they stay for the rest of their lives.
