It is now a big job to change San Francisco's diaper every morning. They are spending a shitload a day to clean the shit up every morning.
The investigation revealed trash littered across every block. The survey also found 41 blocks dotted with needles and 96 blocks sullied with piles of feces.
San Francisco is a shithole!The song has been updated: "I Left My S**t in San Francisco".
Wow glad I lived there before the decline
Mayor Giuliani was able to clean up Times Square in NY and bring it from decrepit to showcase. Maybe there is hope for SF, in that you have a person in the wings who can purge the homeless along with their filth and needles.
Handing out free needles
It's funny, Libbies flip and sue for tens of millions if a hospital dumped a few dozen needles in a dumpster once or twice due to employee mistake, but happily write off 150,000 unreturned dirty needles a month that are either on the pavement or thrown in private/public trash cans for 'regular' trash as "No Biggie"
Depends work or not work for what. Free needles have proven to decrease infection with HIV, Hep C and so on, they can not cut down on number of homeless and addicts. I think distribution of free needles, which cost little, is actually a very good program.

Let me paraphrase: if we give them free needles, then the diseases don’t have a chance to cut down on the homeless population

Ok read what you wrote here again slowly. Let me paraphrase: if we give them free needles, then the diseases don’t have a chance to cut down on the homeless population...
free needle programs
a general lax approach to enforcing petty crimes
I like San Francisco, so since Alaska Air had a ridiculous special, I'm going to go and see this stuff for myself in March.
The NBC Bay Area Investigative Unit surveyed 153 blocks of downtown San Francisco in search of trash, needles, and feces. The investigation revealed trash littered across every block. The survey also found 41 blocks dotted with needles and 96 blocks sullied with piles of feces.
