We’ve all by now all heard of the “ poop patrols ” in the liberal paradise of San Francisco to scoop up all of the human feces lying around the city.
What we haven’t known up until know is just how highly paid these poop scoopers really are.
The sight of human waste, discarded hypodermic needles, trash and general grime is nothing new to anyone walking in downtown, in the Mission District or in any of a number of other San Francisco neighborhoods these days.
And, as Breed notes, “We’re spending a lot of money to address this problem.”
No kidding.
San Francisco Public Works has a $72.5 million-a-year street cleaning budget — including spending $12 million a year on what essentially have become housekeeping services for homeless encampments.
The costs include $2.8 million for a Hot Spots crew to wash down the camps and remove any biohazards, $2.3 million for street steam cleaners, $3.1 million for the Pit Stop portable toilets, plus the new $830,977-a-year Poop Patrol to actively hunt down and clean up human waste.
( By the way, the poop patrolers earn $71,760 a year, which swells to $184,678 with mandated benefits .)
At the same time, the Department of Public Health has an additional $700,000 set aside for a 10-member, needle cleanup squad, complete with it’s own minivan. The $19-an-hour needle cleanup jobs were approved as part of the latest budget crafted largely by former Mayor Mark Farrell.
The new needle crew is on top of the $364,000 that the health department already was spending on a four-member needle team.
Breed is also leaning on Chief William Scott for more foot patrols.
“I’ve definitely had discussions with the chief and asked that beat officers be out there,” Breed said.
City officials say foot beats have nearly doubled in the past year, from 76 to 140 officers.
This must be what’s is often called “the sweet smell of success” in a liberal and socialist paradise!
Vote for Democrats in November and this type of “success” will be spread across the country.

And conservatives turn the country into Mississippi. We need a balance.
I'd rather live there than in an overpriced, liberal infested literal shithole.
Why am I not surprised that the liberal answer to problems caused by liberal indulgence is to come up with a program to spend more money?
It's either that or demonizing the successful.
