ugh, so gross and germy

[Lockbox]

Why no mention of the spreading of disease?

[Paladin2]

Why noot give them BART fare to Oakland or Bezerkly.

"I left my fart

in San Francisco ... "

[Flavious_Maximus]

I hope they get everything that’s coming to them. Plague, pestilence, disease and famine. When I think of San Fransisco, I think of AIDS.

[Mamzelle]

These bigots just don’t like street “art.”

[Tennessee Nana]

SF spends about 25,000 for each homeless person ???

what are they doing buying each of them a house ???

[circlecity]

San Francisco, a city that is, literally, a cesspool.

[Jim Noble]

“San Francisco is such a beautiful city. Why do we let people poop all over it?”

Because you are wrong about so many things that you’ve gotten yourselves to the point of living worse than animals.

[Sans-Culotte]

I've never been to Calcutta, but it sounds smells like San Francisco is the Calcutta of America.

[Dilbert San Diego]

San Francisco is such a beautiful city. Why do we let people poop all over it?

---

The short answer is that the city is so damn liberal in its politics and social policies, that people get the idea that anything goes. Homeless learn that they can p#@% and s#$% anywhere and there are no consequences, they do so. Homeless learn that they can wander around and there are no consequences or restraints on their behavior, such places will find they have more homeless acting more aggressively.

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.”

Oh wow, a sh** conveyor.

[PGR88]

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

[bigbob]

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

[PoloSec]

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.

[Macoozie]

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.
