Tell me that this does not brighten up your day. Unless you
happen to live in San Francisco, home of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, it
certainly will.
You recall the cries of faux outrage when Donald Trump said
that certain nations were shithole countries. Well, guess what, America now has
its very own shithole city. There may be others, but San Francisco has become
an open air toilet.
People have overcome all laws of human hygiene. I hope this makes San Franciscans feel liberated.
Apparently, the arc of justice has just punished the city
for its virtue preening and posturing. San Francisco is probably more “woke”
even than New York. It has opened its arms to migrants around the world. It has
offered sanctuary to the poor, the destitute and the downtrodden. Not so much
because it is going to help these people, as in, getting them jobs, but because
it makes all San Franciscans, especially those who have more money than anyone
has a right to have, feel virtuous.
Anyway, high tech gazillionaires have destroyed the housing
market… so more and more San Franciscans are now living on the streets. And
they have turned the streets of San Francisco into shitholes. If you are going
to San Francisco, the old song said, make sure to wear a flower in your hair. Now you know why: to mask the stench.
The San Francisco Gate has the story, or, should I say, the
poop:
Between
2011 and 2018, San Francisco experienced a massive increase in reported
incidents of human feces found on public streets.
In
2011, just over 5,500 reports were logged by the San Francisco Department of
Public Works; in 2018, the number increased to more than 28,000.
Notably,
this is a chart of only documented reports
— the actual amount of feces on San Francisco's streets is likely even higher
than these statistics suggest.
"I
will say there is more feces on the sidewalks than I've ever seen growing up
here," San Francisco Mayor London Breed told
NBC in a 2018 interview. "That is a huge problem, and we are not
just talking about from dogs — we're talking about from humans."
It is not new. But it has been getting worse. Lucky that San
Francisco has a new “woke” mayor in London Breed. She is working hard to clean
it all up. Oops, but the problem has gotten a lot worse under her watch. Hmmm.
San
Francisco has struggled with a feces problem for years. The city even
employs a "Poop Patrol" that attempts to keep the
streets clean and focuses on the Tenderloin neighborhood.
But the
problem is bigger than just keeping the streets clean — the issue appears to be
related to the city's struggle to accommodate its homeless population amid
skyrocketing rent prices and a decreasing supply of affordable housing.
A 2017
survey of San Francisco's homeless population counted nearly 7,500
people living on the street. That population faces limited public resources,
and public bathrooms are no exception.
Whether
the Poop Patrol is able to reverse the trend on San Francisco's streets remains
to be seen, but there's an indication that the crew is a bandage on a problem
much bigger than dirty streets.
No shit, Sherlock.
I recommend that the city and he state solve the problem of “limited
public resources” by confiscating the wealth of all the “woke” tech titans.
They all believe in leftist schemes, so why shouldn’t they pay for them.
I'm happy the homeless have a place to go with a reasonably benign climate and free needles. I will also be happy when they accept, joyfully, with open arms and non-appropriative leis (strings of colorful TANF cards?), thousands of undocumented refugees who will benefit the economy and provide vibrant, diverse communities.
ReplyDeleteMy neck of the woods just has far too many deplorable, irredeemable, bitter clingers. The homeless and refugees would be constantly triggered and oppressed if they moved near me.
But, But, the "fresh ocean breezes"!!!!!! They're not sufficient?
ReplyDeleteI'm cheering for the bums. I support the efforts to feed the bums because it insures x2 poop on the streets. Whatever is bad for San Francisco is good for America.
ReplyDeleteTrue story. 9 years ago I took the day off and waited in line to see Dylan at the Warfield. We're there, wife and I, sitting in folding chairs, having a beer, long line, and the bums are swarming everywhere. One particularly insolent bum walked up to the mostly full trash can, looks at all of us, and dumps in out on the ground, sifts through a bit, and then sits down on a bench next to the giant mess he made. It was magnificent. He stood in front of an entire line of San Francisco's citizens and showed them exactly what he thought of them. And they never said a word. I could tell by the look on his face that he was baiting them. I thought he was a city treasure. He was exactly what those people deserved. I hope he drops a deuce on the hood of their new Prius.
Needless to say, he walked off and left the mess, and the cowards just smoked pot and bitched about George Bush. I tried to light a cigar at one point and nearly started a riot.
Dylan was dreadful, and you can't have a cigar anyplace, even outside, except among the bums--so add that to the list of their virtues.
The plague cannot come fast enough to that shitbog. Let the bums have it.
