San Francisco introduces 'Poop Patrol'

[Jack]

Port a potties are typically used on a temporary basis for events or on construction sites.

Reason being is because they start to stink after a few days—especially in the heat of summer. Though it’s way better than allowing people to shit on the sidewalks.

I believe the ones I heard about are 'self-cleaning' and are permanent fixtures. Cawacko could probably describe them better than me.

I’ve never heard of those.

They may be ‘self-cleaning’ in some sense but unless it has some means of processing solid waste, things are going to build up inside of it.

And they’re probably expensive as all get out.

What do you think? About 20 grand for one of those?

And it still smells like shit when you walk in it lol.

It looked pretty clean and sanitary, and had a line of people waiting to use it. Looks like there was a problem, and this is a solution San Fran came up with.
Yeah, maybe the cost is why there aren't MORE of them?

Because they aren’t exactly cheap?

And it still smells like shit when you walk in it lol. Which raises the question of ‘why not stick with the port a potties’?

No doubt that question comes up during city council budget meetings. Along with ‘just how much are we willing to spend just to be a Mecca for the homeless?’

[FUCK THE POLICE]

he city of San Francisco just can’t seem to do anything right.

The city’s liberal policies designed to welcome the homeless and encourage illegal drug use is turning the city from a high-tech haven of beauty and cleanliness, to what UC Berkeley professor Lee Riley described as unsanitary conditions “much greater than communities in Brazil or Kenya or India.”

Congratulations lefties, the former crown jewel of the West Coast is now being compared to some of the dirtiest slums in the world.

Since the beginning of 2018, the city has received over 14,000 calls to the 311 service about feces on the sidewalks and in the streets. It has gotten so bad the city has lost conventions because of the filth.

It appears the city is tired of being the butt of national jokes and has decided to fight back. Local officials have announced yet another program to fix the problems the other programs caused in the first place. The “poop patrol” is expected to cost about $750,000 and employs six people with two trucks. No word if the trucks are hybrid.

What we are trying to do is be proactive,” said Director of Public Works Mohammed Nuru. ”So we'll have a crew that will roam around looking for locations. We actually have data for neighborhoods where we get frequent calls."

Nuru added that “what happens is we’re going to take one of those crews out and try to get ahead of those calls and look for these locations so that hopefully we can get less numbers of calls coming in.”

Two things are disturbing about the city’s latest move. Judging from Nuru’s comments, it appears the city is more worried about having to answer phone calls, which is their job, than the actual danger posed by the feces.

The second problem is the health danger the fecal matter poses. Pictures of workers cleaning up the problem seem to have one thing in common; they are wearing protective gear. This begs the question, where is the protective gear for the thousands of citizens walking on the streets every day?

As a former contractor with the State Department in Kabul, Afghanistan, I can attest to the danger dried airborne fecal matter poses. The “Kabul Crud” hits just about every westerner that goes to the country usually within two weeks of arrival. The air in Kabul is not only filthy with dust, but it is also contaminated with dried fecal matter. This is what happens when you have an open sewer system, as San Francisco now appears to have.

Dr. Lee Riley has warned about the dangers the conditions in San Francisco are posing to the residents warning about rotavirus stating, “If you happen to inhale that, it can also go into your intestine.” The virus can be fatal.

San Fransisco has homeless problems because of high housing prices

They need to build build build, but they won't

To stop this:



More public toilets?!!

It's a Mecca alright, they're called 'Tourists'.

How does beating the homeless out of your city make the problem any better? You're just moving the problem, not eliminating it. God conservatives are so retarded. There should be 0 homeless in America, in a country as rich as ours. There's no excuse for the existence of homelessness, besides greed and selfishness. It's inefficient.

Thanks SK. This solves Omars' 'the place stinks' complaint ... but, knowing Omar (sigh) he'll just find something else to complain about.

the article mentions that.
Still you have to wonder..all I know is SF is no longer on my "bucket list" yuk

[FUCK THE POLICE]

There are a few of them and my general understanding is they work pretty well (the original concern was they would be havens for drug use). I'm not sure the reason we don't have more tbh.

Addicts are going to use drugs whether they have private spots available or not lol

"legalize it"
did anyone notice "airborne fecal matter"?

Omar the Realist is just making observations lol.

I know a bit about the realities of solid waste disposal from my bacteriology days. There has to be some bugs in place in order for the solid waste to be digested—or its going to stink. And the process takes days and not minutes. Is what it is.

Who wants to hold their convention in a city that reeks of human excrement?
