The problem is not the peeing or the laws about it. There are some sensible points on both sides but they all fail to address the core issue.
The peeing is the symptom. Unless you address the root problem, you are merely trying to put band-aids on a sucking chest wound.
Salmon everywhere are concerned.
“Don’t let them catch you smoking, though!”
I was walking down the street at Union Square in the late 1980s, and some woman took a cigarette right out of my mouth and threw it down.
I was so astonished that I didn’t even smash her in the mouth with my fist. I still regret that.
I don’t smoke any more, but I still hate tobacco Nazis.
What about defecation? If they legalize that also there will be no real need for sewage treatment plants. Think of the savings.
Well to be fair, this is a judge ruling in opposition of existing ordinances, thus ruling against the will of the people.
Typical judicial activism.
You can thank the ACLU for some of this problem.
They forced Reagan to close the mental hospitals & let those who had such problems roam in the general population of America.
When we had the mental hospitals, the problems were CONTAINED. Now the problem is NOT CONTAINED—anymore than a bee swarm is contained.
See your Federal funds dry up, SF, and see how this also affects your ability to keep drawing tourists.

It’s called Shipping Containers, effective housing for minimal costs.
All though most of the homeless I have met are young, healthy, lazy, worthless, pieces of human sh!t who should be driven into the ocean with whips and chains.
There used to be such a thing as Poor Farms, Vagrancy Laws, Pan Handling Laws and Visible Means of Support Laws.
who wants to go there?....
give me the small town mountain towns any day of the week....the colder the better because then the hobos and trash will stay away....

I live in a town where the bums usually leave when it gets cold. This year they seem to be staying.
My son has been to two work conferences in SF in the past few months. He said it smelled like piss and twice he saw people taking a dump up against buildings abutting the sidewalk.
He’s refusing to attend anymore conferences there.
