San Francisco to Get Environmental Violation for Homelessness, Trump Says
The New York Slimes ^ | September 19, 2019 | D. Shear, Thomas Fuller and Peter Baker

President Trump said late Wednesday that his administration would issue a notice of environmental violation against the city of San Francisco because of what he described as its homelessness problem.

Traveling aboard Air Force One as he returned to Washington from a three-day trip to California and New Mexico, Mr. Trump told reporters that San Francisco was in “total violation” of environmental rules because of used needles that were ending up in the ocean.

“They’re in total violation — we’re going to be giving them a notice very soon,” the president said, indicating that the city could be put on notice by the Environmental Protection Agency within a week that its homelessness problem was causing environmental damage.

Again I am impressed with the brilliance of President Trump and his adaptability.

Hope he fines them into bankruptcy.

Screwing the San Fagcisco Commies with their own tool.

We'll need popcorn for this show.

Heh. I love using their own rules against them.

Trump can play the “manipulating procedural outcomes” game too.

And untreated sewage/fecal matter ends up in the waterways also.

SF officials have been reluctant to handle homeless on a humanitarian basis, maybe they will be motivated on the baiss if environmental impact?

That’s right!

And I’ll bet they are washing untreated sewage through their storm drains.

San Francisco will find a way to blame it on Trump.

Meanwhile, it’s not nice to wish anyone ill, but what if sandal-wearing SF City Council members were to contract whatever you contract from sick people’s poop...

And I’ll bet they are washing untreated sewage through their storm drains.

Correct, and SF Mayor London Breed has already started the lying and misdirection campaign, she states:

“To be clear, San Francisco has a combined sewer system, one of the best and most effective in the country, that ensures that all debris that flow into storm drains are filtered out at the city’s wastewater treatment plants, no debris flow out into the bay or the ocean.”

Filtering (which is overwhelmed during heavy rain) does NOT remove or neutralize pathogens, drugs or chemical pollutants, only a proper full treatment of all effluent through a modern sewage treatment facility makes the discharge safe for the Bay, Ocean or waterways.

The critical danger to public health and the environment persists.

Willfully discharging untreated sewage and hazardous materials into our storm drains is a Criminal Violation, ARREST THEM and Prosecute the officials.

And did they do a full environmental assessment before spraying the streets down with bleach?

It’s disappointing that the city leaders in San Francisco simply DO NOT CARE about the environment there.
