[Drango]

Surprised NPR reported on this.

[zencycler]

If you fund it, they will come.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

Situation normal, re the streets. Why wasn’t it reported months or years ago?

[867V309]

Surprised NPR reported on this.

well, it's ancient news; major conventions are avoiding because stepping in filth is no fun.

frisco is now a 3rd world convention destination.

[VideoPaul]

Hello, NPR! It’s outfits like yours who glorify the homeless and demand more and more and more funding. Well, here is your predictable result.

Couldn’t happen to a nicer state.

I am very surprised that NPR did report this as well, if they are saying this, then it must be bad also any FReepers that live in SF and see this daily?

[867V309]

I am very surprised that NPR did report this as well,

frisco "poop maps" (pardon my language) have been all over the internet, and a major medical convention relocated from frisco. If NPR ignored the facts they'd look the fool.

Oh, wait. Too late.

I won't think of Rice-a-roni anymore when I hear about San Francisco. I remember the commercial with the cable cars from when I was growing up. Instead of, Rice-a-roni the San Francisco treat they can say, Thank Pelosi for the shit on San Francisco streets.

[the_individual2014]

I cant believe it, this place is really a sh!thole.

[867V309]

I cant believe it, this place is really a sh!thole.

When I was a kid in the 60's, my friends mom, an intelligent sophisticated lady, said San Francisco was her favorite town. I wonder what she'd think now...

[be-baw]

Where I live, people dump in the crapper and pick up after their dogs. It is inexcusable for San Francisco to have become such a shit hole. Why the citizenry aren’t in revolt is beyond my ken. It seems totally fitting, though, that this is happening in Nancy Pelosi land.

[lump in the melting pot]

"I will say there is more feces on the sidewalks than I've ever seen growing up here," Breed told NBC Bay Area last month.

Excuse me, Mrs. Mayor, how much human feces lying around San Fran was normal, back in the day? Because in the several cities around the world that I grew up in, that amount was (and still is) zero.

[Carl Vehse]

Not to mention the leftist trash and feces in the SF City Council.

[RegulatorCountry]

Just a few months ago, leftists were denying this:

[Mark was here]

The “good” news is that the street people are now victims of an affordable housing crisis, not drug addiction or mental illness.

[oblomov]

Coming to a city near you.

[HarleyD]

It’s all over social media. They have no choice.

Wait until Typhoid breaks out.

[shoff]

Poop-A-Roni the San Francisco treat.

[Clutch Martin]

Oh look everybody, NPR chimed in...

“... victims of an affordable housing crisis...”

We had neighbors that got hit with a huge rent increase on their rental house. It went from $1,400 a month to $2,600 a month. They ended up buying their “dream home” a few years earlier than they wanted. About 30 miles farther out of the city. Pre-built house on 4 acres, half of it is fenced, a 60’x60’ work garage with tall doors for his work truck, several other out-buildings, etc.

I’m guessing that most folks that can afford the rents around here (Seattle) in the first place probably won’t end up homeless. Although I have read in the papers of a few of them. But I’m guessing they aren’t the type to poop on the sidewalk.

Some of the younger high-tech folks have vans or box-trucks and park at the campus and use the campus gym for showers.

Heck - I knew a 20-something that had made a bunch of money in the oil-fields and paid off his college loans and still has a bunch in savings. Summers he does trail work for the forest service and does climbing. Winters he’s a ski bum and works at the resorts. Spring and fall he parks cars at a fancy downtown hotel. He lives out of his car spring-fall. “The forest work we’re out anyways. At the hotel, I get to use the gym showers and get a great breakfast at half-price! But yeah - in another year I’ll go and get my Masters. But I figure I’m in my prime for skiing and climbing now.”
