Saturday's protest by day laborers was among several demonstrations in the city, including a performance by drag queens on the sidewalk in the Tenderloin district against the proposed ordinance.

Um....

“Can this get any worse?”

The question is when and where will it get worse. Nothing will ever be enough...only turning this into another Mexico/3rd world hole that is comfortable and familiar to them will satisfy them.

“Teresa Delgado, 40, an immigrant from Mexico who spoke through an interpreter, said her husband, Erasmo, often waits hours on the street to be picked up for work and needs to be able to sit down.

Her message for the mayor: “Don’t push for this law because it would affect me and other working class families.”

So if I am walking around SF, and need to sit (hey, I’m older) this will now be against the law?
This is idiotic.
If they want to go after the street people sentence them to a bath. That will make ‘em leave.

Who is paying for her housing, medical care and children’s schooling?

So, it’s a sanctuary city, but the people being given sanctuary can’t actually sit down while there? Weird.

Also, if sitting on the sidewalk is illegal, will they start sitting on people’s lawns?

Finally, it is just too funny that the home of the hippie sit-ins is taking a “stand” against sitting.

San Francisco is a freak show writ large and it smells like human urine to boot.
