Man Caused Global Warming - makes it stink more.

Or Bush’s fault.

Both would be a good lib’s response.

To me San Francisco is like Nigeria. I’ve never been and have no desire to ever go there. For that matter all of California except for the Bridgeport region is off the list of places I want to visit.

Bridgeport is beautiful and mountainous. I enjoyed mountain warfare training there back in ‘87.

“and erecting canopies to prevent homeless people from using escalators as toilets.”

Having lived in New York and SF, I’m convinced many of the mentally I’ll homeless would not use toilets even if such public toilets were widely available

Better make sure they’re transgender whatever ones, or they’ll be in court soon.

One thing the homeless can look forward to, when a republican is elected they will get more across the board attention from the media than they ever dreamed possible.

Civics Lesson.

You own a building. There is human waste in front of the building.
You would:


1) Complain to the city to do something about the mess.
2) Blame George Bush.
3) Get a hose and stiff-bristle broom and clean it up, and make it VERY unwelcoming for anyone/thing to do it again.

At lunchtime, I see street people passed out on high-traffic sidewalks

Since we all know how well throwing tax payer's money at a social problem works so well, the City Counsel of SF needs to give their homeless residents more money.

From the article: The drought means "there's no rain washing down the streets," San Francisco Public Works spokeswoman Rachel Gordon

Rachel should know about this place, since she works for the SFDPW. It is the Emergency water pumping station at the foot of Van Ness Ave, which was built in 1909. The station has four diesel engine driven pumps built by the Byron Jackson Corporation. The station pumps sea water to a below ground reservoir located at a high point above the city. The pumps are ‘exercised’ one day a week (one pump each week).

The reservoir is connected to the cities fire hydrant system so in the event of another 1906 style quake, the city can still have water to fight fires.

Today, they could be used to flush the sidewalks of the debris from the human debris which ifects the once beautiful city.

The remaining salt may be an issue though, as well as damaging to the piping and hydrants.

But...but...but, it's utopia...and the land of unicorns...and butterflys and rainbows...and sugar and spice, and, well everything nice.

It's a craphole! And has been for the last twenty years, thanks to the liberal progressive politicians that cater to every damned whim of the wacked out leftist idiots and the burnt out birkenstock-wearing old hippies.

What? SF, the center of tolerance and caring? You mean SF doesn’t provide complete room and board for the homeless? You mean that room and board are not a right for everyone? How cold and cruel. Why SF must be run by those heartless mean-spirited Republicans!

Even with more police - so suppose a policeman sees a homeless man sprawled out on the sidewalk and asks him to move on, and the homeless man tells the policeman to drop dead. Then what?

Does the policeman arrest him? And suppose he resists arrest? As soon as there is any physical confrontation, the two are surrounded by a crowd with their smart-phone cameras out and the cop is putting his job in jeopardy, among accusations of “police brutality.”

The cop figures it’s wiser just to let the homeless man be and not to disturb him.

Wolves.

There’s your answer.

Reintroduce wolves to San Francisco.

Wolves always look to kill and eat the most vulnerable.

Nothing more vulnerable than some hobo with his pants down squatting to take a Democrat on the sidewalk.

And even if they did use the additional public toilets provided - just imagine the condition they'd leave them in!

... and then get arrested for harassing protected "citizens."

>>The city's 2014 homeless services budget was $167 million -- to serve 6,355 homeless people.

That's $26,299 for each homeless bum, and the San Fran Idiots can't clean-up the streets. Liberalism really is a mental desease.
