Today's San Francisco Chronicle features an article--titled 'Enough is enough,' S.F. says of homeless--that basically says that San Franciscans are FINALLY sick of vagrants peeing, pooping, doing drugs, exposing their genitals, aggressively panhandling, and other no-nos on the streets of our fine city. It's one of the best things I've read all year, and includes a gem of a sound bite:"Maybe there has been an epiphany," says David Latterman, president of Fall Line Analytics, a local market research firm. "People have realized they can hate George Bush but still not want people crapping in their doorway."
I am not in the least bit religious but A-M-E-N. If my tax dollars go to programs that feed and clothe the teeming masses of bums that crowd SF's streets, then I'd much rather that food be nutritious jail/prison rations and the clothes be of the jumpsuit variety popular in correctional institutions. It seems like a win-win for everyone.
