I don’t care what amenities it has, I don’t know why anyone but stupid leftists would want to live in that nutty place.
Ignorant morons. As long as Mother Earth is saved, collateral damage is expected. I wonder what Red China would pay for S.F? Removing a tumor from a dying patient seems like a reasonable move.
Liberal arrogance on display:
They mandate air bags in cars, which result in deaths to drivers sitting too close and children in the front seat.
They mandate MTBE in gasoline to reduce emissions, but then contaminates millions of gallons of potable water.
They mandate all sorts of things with no regard for consequences.
“In a research paper for the Institute for Law and Economics, law professors Jonathan Klick and Joshua Wright crunched state and federal data on emergency room admissions...”
No harm, no foul; most San Franciscans are long since used to hospital stays for communicable infections.
"TIME" to do away with daylight savings time. It's just plain DUMB.
That seems to be their point. Paraphrase: "Given what we all know about the (ahem) personal habits of San Franciscans, a little extra e.coli due to changing grocery bag usage wouldn't show up in the stats. Maybe they should run some numbers in communities where everyone doesn't, well, you know ..."
The Law of Unintended Consequences
But the ultimate in chutzpah is when these grand Leftist brain storms are proved to be bad policy, the Leftists double down on the bad policy to make them WORSE rather than better.
MTBE is no longer used. Hasn't been for almost a decade.
From what I understand MTBE is a by product of gasoline production and is costly to get rid of. The oil companies convinced the "greens" that adding it to gas would be better for the environment.
About 10 years ago, I tried listening to Michael Savage. I remember him complaining that the bum infestation was so bad, SF had started using chlorine in the street cleaners when washing down the bum-frequented areas of tourist district.
Can't remember what they were finding. Hepatitis, most likely.
I had an argument here with a bunch of people about how people get sick. They were the type that wash their hands every 5 minutes (I don’t...I wash my hands about 4 times a day, unless I’m working on my cars) and actually think that sanitizers do anything other than dry out and wreck your skin. They got really angry - I think that I burst their bubble because they complained that they still kept getting sick, while I never get sick. LOL. I asked them, if they were so smart, how come they STILL can’t figure out how to stop the common cold from spreading. I happen to think, based on my history before flu shots (which I do need), that the bugs that get you sick are always inside of you, and when you hit the right conditions (damp, cold, windy), they are able to come out and attack (as I always used to get sick after underdressing for the weather). So they can wash their hands until they blue in the face, but it’s not doing them any good.
Having said that, I do think these re-usable bags are bad news. Liquids drip out of meat packages, that simple. Put a head of lettuce in there next, have a salad, and you’ve just a whole bunch of bad things that your tummy may tell you about.
OK it being SF and the title being “Wash your Bags” the subject was not what I was expecting.
(1) The results of government actions and policies don't matter.
(2) The media will ignore or cover up any bad results.
In many ways, that is all you need to know to understand our new America.
There are more pet dogs than children in SF, and they all go outside. If plastic bags are banned how are they handling that problem?
Not exactly, according to others.

Or in other words, the law of unintended consequences strikes again. Funny how often that law hits liberals upside the head.
lol...I said that when they 1st came out with this....didn't need any study....Common sense is at a premium in SF....
