Please just leave it alone.

Would be up wonderful idea, except it will be immediately filled with bums, feces, needles, and no decent citizen would ever be able to go there in any kind of safety.

Look! A new toilet.

For what they’re spending for the park’s boondoggle, they could build a decent escape-proof asylum-institution to house every mentally-ill homeless pooper in the downtown area, and then clean-up the city.

PING.

Yay! More places for the bums to poop! *SHUDDER*

So glad I got to see 99% of America and Europe when it was STILL ‘America’ and ‘Europe.’

Never going overseas again. Never leaving the farm until they carry me out feet first! :)

It will look very nice. San Franciscans are all about aesthetics, poopy sidewalks not withstanding.

Look! A new toilet.

What a waste! This is California...we don’t need no stinkin’ toilets.

Ten years ago I was on an overnight ride thru San Francisco when I happened into the Presidio at first light and saw a sleepy Coyote eyeballing the passing scooters.
Coyotes in SF?...who would have thought.

[glasseye]

Like a $9 dollar bill divided by $3’s?
Just add rainbow...

[[crews are set to break ground Thursday on a project to build a new 14-acre public park on top of two freeway tunnels near the Golden Gate Bridge. ]]

Woohoo=- a brand new park to poop in

Coyotes in SF?

They're all over the place. Can't shoot them, even pulling out a gun will get you jail time or shot by cops. Protected species. I'm in South San Francisco, and coyotes are spotted every night on streets in my neighborhood, including my own. Some neighbors are complaining about half-eaten cat carcasses on their lawns. Coyotes go up and down the peninsula coastal regions to/from San Francisco's Presidio and Golden Gate Park.

Soon to be the world’s largest, gender-neutral, open-air, latrine.

To all my Army friends who served at the Presidio & Letterman Army Med Center, I feel your pain, hand salute to all those who served there & at Naval Hospital Oakland, 2 of the greatest teaching Hospitals the Military ever had! They were the welcome home centers for the Pacific Theater, Korea, & Viet Nam. Taps.

[Dilbert San Diego]

Yep, I must agree. This new urban parkland will be despoiled when the homeless and druggies move in.

Cool before/after graphic.

Seems like a colossal waste of money, though.
