Boy, talk about a city being caught up in liberal paralysis. CW has staunchly maintained that it is impossible for liberals to govern effectively. Governing requires decision-making, and the libs just can't do that for fear of hurting the feelings of some minority group If you have been looking for proof, what more does it take than the current indecision on a law banning urinating and defecating in public in S.F. The Chron sweeps through this story as though it is a normal story on a somewhat routine matter. The article notes the utter confusion without shock, dismay, or the realization that the SF world is upside down:
EXTRA: asylum run by wastes of skin
"Nothing is simple in San Francisco, not even a law about urinating in public. Suburban Walnut Creek's City Council, on the other hand, unanimously voted last month to outlaw public urination and defecation, going after rowdy young bar-hoppers.
San Francisco, meanwhile, is a complicated city with a growing homeless population and powerful homeless advocates. Politicians are more inclined to weigh the social problems that lead to public urination -- poverty on the streets, drug addiction, mental illness -- than the consequences'" (Link)
oh well, maybe al-Q will nuke it
Ladies and gentlemen, this is a major metropolitan newspaper explaining away the liberals inability to get anything done, even a matter as obvious as this.
CW has often wondered why the homeless are only paid $320-390 per month. All good liberals know that this not a "living wage" in S.F. And, they are clearly employees of the City. They don't work for anybody else, for sure. Therefore, why aren't they paid the minimum living wage required of all firms doing business with the City?
Once known for "beauty and excellence," SF is now the smelly, joke-scene for the rest of the world. |
