Would you do the job for $6k a month?

San Francisco has assigned six city workers to a new "Poop Patrol" to rid targeted sidewalks of human waste -- but it turns out the pay is far from crappy.

"Poop patrollers" earn $71,760 a year, which swells to a value of $184,678 with mandated benefits, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

The paper reported Wednesday that the city has earmarked $830,977 in taxpayer dollars for the new unit.

The sight of human waste, discarded hypodermic needles, trash and general grime is nothing new to anyone walking in any number of San Francisco neighborhoods, according to the Chronicle.

“We’re spending a lot of money to address this problem,” Mayor London Breed said.

A team of five Public Works employees and a supervisor will begin patrolling the alleys around Polk Street and other hot spots in about a month, the Chronicle reported last week.

I think it would be stated more accurately as, "We are spending a lot of money to encourage this travesty.  We will not stop until everyone is crapped on "equally".

Why don't they treat it like aluminum cans and plastic bottles?

Then the homeless people can scrounge around for it all day and turn it in at the local "recycling" center.  They could pay them by the pound.

Not only would they be saving their own poo, but they'd be fighting each other over it on the sidewalks.

I was just in SF on business. I parked on a side street and the city workers were actually dumping big scoops of potting soil on the sidewalk. I asked them why, they responded, “to soak up the urine and crap smell”. They let it sit for a few days then sweep it up.


I guess it’s like kitty litter for the homeless.


There were about six tents on this street.
