Since 2014, San Francisco has operated a program called "Pit Stop" that delivers mobile public restrooms to neighborhoods with dirty streets.

In August, the city began offering 24-hour service at three of these stations.

The cost of operating the stations overnight amounts to $30 per flush.

Reminiscent of the infamous bathroom "pods" that were installed at the MARTA Five Points Station in Atlanta. It was like walking into a large dishwasher. All surfaces were stainless steel or a brushed aluminum that graffiti or tagging would not adhere to. Between each patron - the entire interior was blasted clean with high-pressure soap and hot water. Another expensive failure that was terminated after the demonstration project.

SF sounds like a homeless paradise. Every homeless person should be given a free buss ticket there.

Wouldn’t it be cheaper simply to declare defeat and pay a few of the homeless $15./hr to scoop the poop and hose down the pee?

Two dog-related ordinances in San Francisco:

Must Pick Up – It shall be unlawful . . . to permit the animal to defecate upon the public property of this City or upon the private property of another unless the person immediately remove the feces and properly dispose of it. (Health Code Sec. 40 (a))

There is a $320 fine for failure to pick up.

Must have a Bag - It shall be unlawful for any person to walk a dog on public property of this City or upon the private property of another without carrying at all times a suitable container or other suitable instrument for the removal and disposal of dog feces. (Health Code Sec. 40 (b))

There is a $320 fine for failure to carry a suitable container.

• Must have a Bag


Shame they outlawed plastic grocery sacks. They’re perfect for the job. Oh well, not my circus, not my monkeys.

They won’t use those either, net savings!

I have no intention of visiting that shit hole. But if I did I would make sure that I flush the damn things about a 100 times a day, each one, and then laugh at the libs.

That is what you get when you encourage and subsidize Third World filth into the country. Why should anyone expect otherwise?

If you're going to San Francisco Be sure to wear diapers while your there If you're going to San Francisco You're gonna meet some filthy people there
For those who come to San Francisco Summertime will smell like poop in the air In the streets of San Francisco Homeless people with dingle berries in their hair
All across the city Such a strange stink People doing it in a sink There's a whole generation With a new occupation People in the alleys People squatting their valleys”

San Francisco is full of “flushes” and “shit” so this is the “new normal”.
