SF Mayor: 'There's More Feces ... Than I've Ever Seen'
NBC Bay Area ^

Posted on 07/16/2018 6:09:11 AM PDT by SMGFan

San Francisco Mayor London Breed, in her first one-on-one interview since taking office, said homeless advocacy groups that receive funding from the city need to better educate the homeless to "clean up after themselves."

"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 told the Investigative Unit, referencing her conversations with nonprofit groups aimed at serving the homeless.

When pressed about whether her plan calls for harsher penalties against those who litter or defecate on city streets, Breed said "I didn’t express anything about a penalty." Instead, the mayor said she has encouraged nonprofits "to talk to their clients, who, unfortunately, were mostly responsible for the conditions of our streets."

And who heads sanitation department? Why was this left to get so bad?

No one holds accountable the City Council members for the filthy areas? No one complained. No one was aware?!

Yes, because “talking with” the “clients”, many of whom are drug addicted or mentally ill, has always been an answer to the misbehaviour of derelicts. /s

I don’t think they get out much. Only from their limos into the latest cocktail party.

In SF, you have to pick up after your dog but not yourself.

But when Trump calls places like that, a “$h/+hole”, they get all bent out of shape about it.

It is, what it is.

What a rube. The purpose of government is not to solve problems but perpetuate them.

To state the bleeding obvious: human waste is a vector for the rapid spread of disease. It’s why we’ve spent billions, even trillions, on sewers, plumbing, the invention of chemicals, etc.

Bureaucracy is bad enough but ideologically-driven bureaucracy is much, much worse. If you let a rabies-infected raccoon loose in someone’s home the state would throw you under the jail. They’re also rather keen to inspect and fine a restaurant chef who absent-mindedly left the lid off a food container for a few minutes.

But people - homeless or otherwise - are permitted to deposit their own filth in public, endangering everyone round the clock and literally making it difficult to impossible to live and work in a city where they pay exorbitant taxes regardless of their political affiliation.

The government’s response is to make excuses, toss out some bizarre flannel about ‘clients’ of shelters, etc.

Sleeping in a tent and wearing rags is not a license for exemption from the law.

More Feces on Sidewalks "I will say there is more feces on the sidewalks than I’ve ever seen growing up here," Breed said. "That is a huge problem and we are not just talking about from dogs — we’re talking about from humans."

You ain't seen nothing yet lady.

Just wait until you attend your first Democrat National Convention!

Maybe they need to set up Feces-Free zones there. It has worked so well in other areas of endeavor.

You can clean the filth off the streets with a firehose.

And it would work on the poop too.

This sanctuary city’s illegals from feces-hole countries have turned San Francisco into a feces-hole city. They got what they voted for, now they can walk through it every day.
