"Poop Patrol" to clean human feces from SF streets, homelessness ignored, Little India

Residents of San Francisco complain not only about the high cost of housing but also the often-unsanitary conditions of the city’s sidewalks. Now the city is taking steps to address at least one of those problems.

San Francisco has 22 “Pit Stop” toilets for pubic use, but many are closed by the late afternoon. The Poop Patrol was formed after San Francisco Mayor London Breed began touring city sidewalks in response to complaints about feces

Mayor Breed said (from a different article) that the city's "cleanliness has been impacted by human waste on our streets....We have increased the number of public restrooms and added street cleaners, but now we have a dedicated team to tackle this poop problem."


What a great solution! Way easier than, say, housing the people who are shitting in the streets.... or at least providing them with porta-johns or something. Hooray for america! Maybe we can import someone from India who is well versed in shit-cleaning, like the woman in this video:


Meanwhile in California... rampant tent cities and homelessness. It's turning into Little India here folks. Can we stop worrying so much about whether or not people are using politically correct language or are culturally appropriating and do something about the lack of quality mental health care for the people who need it most in this country?
