Elected officials in San Francisco know they must tread lightly to avoid offending people's ultraliberal sensibilities.
The City could outsource the job to the ChiComs. They'd get it done in a couple of hours.

The above cite where cleaning out panhandlers would rob their neighborhoods of their identity and violate everything San Francisco stands for is but one example.
Another includes the city's decision earlier this year to pair (homeless persons) with social workers who advised them on how to find housing ... those who had someone back home to care for them were given a one-way ticket. This resulted in diatribes accusing the city of pandering to well-to-do residents and abandoning its principles.
Still another involved a community group that wanted to employ homeless people to plant hundreds of trees in the Tenderloin district, San Francisco's seediest quarter with its flophouses, strip clubs and sex shops. However this proposal, the beautification project angered some gay and transgender residents.
You are well advised to take anti-nausea medication before reading the article.
The sooner the place becomes a habitat for Pacific Ocean marine life, the better for the country.
I DO hope Ghiardelli moves to Vegas before the next BIG ONE, however.
The Green Goes UP! (punchline to an old joke, about hiring the less-than-capable to plant trees...)
"...liberal mind...?
I believe you are in the lead for the 2006 "Oxymoron of the Year" award.
Auburn students... I s'pect
Off to the social services concentration camps they will go.
But you could tell the joke that way, yes. ;)
It's good to see the majortity of the citizens of SF may be finally getting some common sense. What kind of moron would think that letting bums, drug addicts, crazy people and thieves roam the streets like packs of wild dogs is anything but a blight?
I lived in Frisco for 4 lousy years. My ex is still there. Better her than me.
Ah yes, I remember the stench of urine, the filth, the beggars and bums. And those silly boys, light in their loafers.
But worth the risk...
It's a waaaay back southern tradition...
Have a good one...
This is a perfect article to read out loud in its entirety with that self-important, haughty, liberal mouthpiece voice that Michael Savage uses on his show when mocking news stories written by leftist tools. The article just oozes with liberal values. I'm sure the author gets all nostalgic when seeing a glob of phlegm on the sidewalk on Market Street or being panhandled by alcoholics and drug addicts at every corner.

Who get what, $300 a month from the city, no questions asked?
Is that true?
Unbelievable!
The fun part of living here is riduculing hippies without fear of recourse. They wouldn't even raise a hand to save their own lives.

New Orleanians?
How does a city "fight over its character" when any character it had was lost long ago?
It's why I left and moved. :)
I do have a LJ group for Bay Areans who are conservatives
