Squatting takes on a new meaning in San Francisco
American Thinker ^ | 04/23/2019 | Ethel C. Fenig

Posted on 04/23/2019 7:26:07 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

While Tony Bennett famously left his heart in San Francisco, others aren't so romantic.

Bums left their poop in San Francisco
Where 118,352 piles of the stuff
Climb half way to citizens' duff
Where the morning fog stinks the air
And people don't seem to care...

(With apologies to Douglass Cross and George Cory.)

Well, OK, San Francisco's new mayor, London Bream, said he cared, according to OpenTheBooks.com's Adam Andrzejewski, writing in Forbes

Since 2011, there have been at least 118,352 reported instances of human fecal matter on city streets.

New mayor, London Breed, won election by promising to clean things up.  However, conditions are the same or worse.  Last year, the number of reports spiked to an all-time high at 28,084. In first quarter 2019, the pace continued with 6,676 instances of human waste in the public way.

We reached out to San Francisco Mayor London Breed for comment regarding our findings and the continued trajectory of the human waste problem.  This column will be updated with any response or comment. ...

The city has taken steps to crack down on the crisis. Over the last year, the Department of Public Works instituted what the San Francisco Chronicle called a "Poop Patrol."  Consisting of five teammates, the Chronicle estimated each employee earned a hefty $184,000 in pay, perquisites and pension benefits.

If you're not a resident of the area and are planning to visit the famous City by the Bay but don't have the locals' notorious open-mindedness, where logic falls out and anything else crawls in attitude and want to avoid the excrement, Andrzejewski has helpfully included the ZIP codes with the most of it, along with an interactive map of its locations.

"Since 2011, there have been at least 118,352 reported instances of human fecal matter on city streets." Who is the bureaucrat in charge of counting? How do they explain their job/work experience to others?😎

I have to go to SFO for a convention each year, and I have to say that the change over the last five years is shocking. The city is absolutely disgusting, and I travel to many developing nations regularly for work. The voters in SFO must have their heads inextricably planted up their keisters to allow this situation.

Ditto. And I used to love going there.

Those are total REPORTS.

There’s probably many times more actual instances.

They should remind citizens they can perfomr citizens’ arrest.

Lock these people up for their own good. And the health of the general population. This attracts flies, that spread disease.

I grew up in the Bay Area, it was a great place to grow up in the 60s and early 70s. Up until recently, I said if I ever had the money, I'd buy a place in San Francisco.

Not anymore...if I won the lottery, I'd buy a house in the Hill Country (near Fredericksburg) and Traben-Trabach, a German town where I lived for 4 years during my tour in Germany.

I rarely play the lottery, so it's a pipe dream, anyway...lol.

I read recently that a large convention group tagged for June decided to pull the pin and go elsewhere, citing “security” issues. More of them do that, and something will happen. The locals who have to put up with this crap, not a pun, should do all they can to make sure the horde doing these things moves on to the upscale ditsy lib neighborhoods. My guess a few bad steps by a few of the limousine liberals and they will do the NIMBY limbo. I worked in SF till 89 at which time the tilt to the dark side was beginning to pick of steam. I am thankful a transfer to Texas came up which allowed me to escape. I’ve visited a few times in the intervening years till five years ago when I decided to completely bypass the place on a left coast trip. Herb Caen a local writer used to call SF Baghdad by the Bay. Maybe he was more a visionary than we knew.

Wouldn’t it be cheaper and more sanitary to build public restrooms every block or so?

I avoid the Bay Area (in fact the entire Golden Sanctuary State) just as if the streets were strewn with poop, drug needles, hepatitis A and C, tuberculosis, trench fever, AIDS, and scabies and internal parasites. Oh, and fentanyl.

Because they just might be.

Tempted to go there just to poop on the sidewalk. Could be a new tourism thing.

I TAKE MY DUMPS IN SAN FRANCISCO

I dropped a deuce in San Francisco
On the sidewalk it waits for you
Near the little cable cars and naked homo bars
The morning wind blows dried feces through the air
I don't care

My loads wait there, in San Francisco
Along the sidewalks and windy streets
When I come home to you, San Francisco
Your golden brown piles of human crap will shine for me.....

If you’re going to San Francisco...
Be sure to wear hip waders on your feet

You know how liberals are always ridiculing president Trump's "Make America Great Again" motto?

They rant: "What does he mean by that?"
"When was America ever great?"

How about back in the time before democrats decided it was okay to use the streets and sidewalks as open toilets?

SAN FRANCISCO 1967

"If you're going to San Francisco, be sure to wear some flowers in your hair" (1967 No. 4 Hit On Billboard)

SAN FRANCISCO 2019

If you're going to San Francisco, be sure to wear an N95 class Particulate Respirator on your face and wipe your hands with antibacterial hand wipes

SEE THE DIFFERENCE?

On farms animal feces dry up, the particles become windborne and people breath it.

In San Francisso human feces dry up, the particles bcome windborne and people breath it.

I see a millennial tourist market here, “Earn The Badge Tour”.
“You haven’t really been to San Francisco unless you’ve been photographed dumping in the streets. And, YOU get to pick the street.”
Can’t miss with this one.
