Since they are into nature in San Francisco maybe they ought to try a more natural approach. Look to the sea gulls for the solution.

San Francisco “Poop Patrollers” Make $185,000

We wish we could say this was a satire piece, but a new story in the San Francisco Chronicle reveals just how lucrative collecting shit actually is. 

It’s but the latest in a string of shocking revelations to hit headlines throughout the summer exposing how deep San Francisco’s crisis of vast amounts of vagrant-generated feces covering its public streets actually runs (no pun intended). 

We detailed last week how city authorities have finally decided to do something after thousands of feces complaints (during only one week in July, over 16,000 were recorded), the cancellation of a major medical convention and an outraged new Mayor, London Breed, who was absolutely shocked after walking through her city: they established a professional “poop patrol”. 

I spent my teenage years in Daytona Beach, Florida. I was a confirmed beach bum. The beach (shoreline) is open to everybody. Getting to the beach is another story. There were long stretches of beach dominated by motels. Tourists occupied the motel stretch of beach. There was one sure way to identify the tourist areas.

Compare the tourist picture with this picture.

Observe the similarities. The Army Air Force learned that to achieve the maximum result on a bomb run it was best to have a tight formation. The effect was known as carpet bombing. 

The same result occurs when feeding sea gulls. It is impossible to feed just one sea gull. Feed one you get the whole flock. Want to identify a tourist in Daytona Beach? They are the ones with a sunburn and covered in Sea Gull shit.

Lesson #1 Don’t feed the Sea Gulls. Feeding one attracts the whole flock. A well fed Sea Gull has to shit. A well fed flock shits together, magnifying the effect.

This leads to the second lesson. Compare and contrast:

Lesson #2: If you build it they will come. The Germans discovered that large industrial complexes attract large numbers of B-17’s with lots of bombs. San Francisco has learned free food, free needles, easy availability of drugs and alcohol and no rules attracts hordes of crazies, freeloaders, drug addicts and drunks.

Lesson #3: Removing or making targets less appealing lessens the numbers of unwanted guests, be they B-17s or freeloaders.

The Germans learned this during WWII and dispersed and hid their manufacturing plants. San Francisco can achieve the same effect by doing the following:

Stop giving out free meals. No food, no crap. 

Dismantle all homeless, welfare, and charitable programs. During the Great Depression, so called hobos would mark residences and businesses with a symbol. The symbol told all the hobos that followed whether or not the occupants would  spring for a free meal. No symbol, no hobos. Take down the free lunch, needles, cheap drugs, and no rules sign and the problem will solve itself. San Francisco has already taken care of the housing situation. There is none except for the upper middle class and wealthy. 

As a patrol officer in a city bisected by IH 35, I observed an interesting phenomena. Each fall I would see an increase in the number of crazy, retarded and substance abusing hitch hikers traveling south. Some, had no idea where they were and only the vaguest notion of where they were going. No matter how disconnected they were they all shared one uniting thought. It was better to spend the winter in Texas than Illinois, Michigan or Minnesota.  

Recall Ken Kesey’s book One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest. The residents of the “Cuckoo’s Nest” were in a locked mental ward because they could not function in society. Once confined, they created their own society and for the most part conformed to the rules. In effect, the crazies made a rational choice. Brian Caplan an economist from George Mason University discussed this:

… a large fraction of what is called mental illness is nothing other than unusual preferences – fully compatible with basic consumer theory.  Alcoholism is the most transparent example: In economic terms, it amounts to an unusually strong preference for alcohol over other goods. But the same holds in numerous other cases.  To take a more recent addition to the list of mental disorders, it is natural to conceptualize Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (henceforth ADHD) as an exceptionally high dis-utility of labor, combined with a strong taste for variety.

The San Francisco situation is another example that liberals are equal opportunity bigots. Liberals would make every other so called biased group hang their heads in shame for the inadequacy of their persecution of targeted groups. In San Francisco, people with dogs are expected to pick up dog poop. A whole range of people, who shit in the street, are exempt from that requirement. There is no interest in holding the homeless to a higher standard than dogs. With such low expectations, it is no wonder San Francisco is knee deep in shit.
