‘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.

Oh, that would work.

I guess she is oblivious to the fact that these bums are excreting their hatred on the normal world. It is deliberate.

If they’re slobs themselves how do you expect them to clean up after themselves? I’ve been to so many airports where they hang out and the smell and stink - this is in CA airports BTW.

“watch where you step, as you could also find yourself ankle-deep in human poop. “

That’s pretty deep and means the homeless are well fed.

“Most of these people are mentally ill. You cannot reason with them.................”

Were you referring to San Francisco’s elected officials or the homeless?

Part of the reasons are the local heroin is cut with baby laxative. It isn't enough to kill but it keeps the user from getting terminally constipated. Smart business decision. The customers keep coming back unless they get a touch of the ole Fentanyl then problem solved.

I think dear mayor is confusing
sanctuary with sanitary. It’s
hard to remember, when you’re
up to your butt in alligators,
that your initial objective was
to drain the swamp.

This jerk should contact Rudy Giuliani and ask him how he cleaned up NY City. I’ve seen Manhattan before, during, and after Rudy’s Mayorship. Amazing.

Ask them with the judicious use of nightsticks and the designation of all elected officials and their staffs offices and homes as “shithole areas” and the problem will go away quickly.

San Fran needs to reallocate the $40K per year they spend on each and every homeless person and have a turd buy back program.

I think its worse than that. Yes, I’m saying it. The Russians pooped in San Francisco. That’s why there’s a problem. Otherwise it’d be perfect.

‘Clean up after yourselves’: San Francisco mayor plans to ask homeless nicely not to poo in streets

It could be cheaper for the city to place Port-a-Pottys at various locations for the Homeless, rather than have to clean the streets and sidewalks continuously.

You know, any Mayor who allows this to happen is complicit.
Period.

The main purpose of a mayor is to protect the HEALTH and welfare of it’s populace.
Note that word, the first titled word...
Health.
