‘Clean up after yourselves’: San Francisco mayor plans to ask homeless nicely not to poo in streets
RT.com ^ | 7/17/2018 | Staff

San Francisco's mayor has an idea to stop the homeless pooping in the street: ask them to stop - or to at least clean up. She blames charities for San-Fran’s poo-gate, saying they should teach people to “respect the community”.

The city is in crisis - vagrants brazenly use drugs on the streets and trash is strewn across footpaths and roads… but watch where you step, as you could also find yourself ankle-deep in human poop. After reports showed that complaints about human feces have doubled in the last three years, the newly-minted mayor, London Breed, pledged to tackle the issue head on - by simply asking the homeless to take more pride in their community.(snip)

Breed, who was only just inaugurated as San Francisco’s mayor last Wednesday, took aim at anti-homeless charities and advocacy groups that receive money from the city, arguing that they do not do enough for those on the streets.

“I work hard to make sure your programs are funded for the purposes of trying to get these individuals help, and what I am asking you to do is work with your clients and ask them to at least have respect for the community — at least, clean up after themselves and show respect to one another and people in the neighborhood,” Breed said.

San Francisco spent $275 million on homelessness services and resources in the last fiscal year - with spending projected to reach an eye watering $305 million in the next 12 months.

The new mayor denied that there would be harsher penalties for vagrants caught using the footpath as a toilet - but did pledge that San Francisco would have visibly cleaner streets within the first three months of her administration. She did not disclose how she would achieve that goal.

They won’t learn. They never do.

They’ll just move elsewhere and continue the process.

How dare she question the “culture” of the hobo! How insensitive and uncaring. Just what kind of LIB loser is she? Cold-hearted and disrespectful of their “values”.

That’s San Francisco - Steve Keller.

A different era when SF meant something better than now.

Who’d vote for someone named London Broil?

That’s all I can think of when I hear the name.

Looking at this picture I just realized that SFO has crossed over into the same sad club as Detroit, Cleveland, Baltimore, Newark, and Philadelphia.

And we all know who runs these dumps.

Who runs that city is who sets the tone, of respect or no respect.

Looks like a case of cause and effect, the physical reality merely being the result of the spiritual condition nurtured and enabled by city hall for decades.

Not that complicated. The mayor must think that the excrement is going to stay where it belongs, when all of its other manifestations has been parading openly in the streets of SF?

These folks are delusional.

Where is her tolerance in which that city prides itself?

"I tried asking the dog to only poop in one area... It didn’t work."

They should hand out San Francisco newspapers to all the homeless so they can crap on them. The problem will be, getting them to wrap it all up afterwards, and throw it in the garbage.

My mother used to rub the dog's nose in his pee or poop, then throw him outside in order to train him. Glad she never tried that on us. Maybe they can try rubbing the homeless person's nose in their pee and poop, but somehow, I think a dog would be easier to housebreak than these morons.

Yeah I mean definitely ask nicely. We don’t want him to offend any of the poopers.

The mayor has a very nice air-conditioned office where you can poop in private!

This would be a good congressional campaign ad if it weren’t so gross. “Your District Can Look Like This!”

You get what you reward, YerHonor, not what you think you reward. How's that "sanctuary" thing working out for you again?
