A new study has discovered that each case of poop that has to be cleaned up on the streets of San Francisco costs the taxpayer $32 dollars, with 118,352 recorded reports of human feces since 2011.
Auditors at OpenTheBooks.com “plotted all reports of human waste since 2011 using latitude and longitude address coordinates of all cases closed by the San Francisco Department of Public Works,” writes Adam Andrzejewski.
Since 2011, there have been 118,352 recorded reports of poop on the streets of what was once dubbed “The Paris of the West.”
Last year, the number of reports of human feces hit an all-time high at 28,084 and there have already been 6,676 recorded instances of human waste in the first quarter of 2019.
A team of five employees, the so-called ‘Poop Patrol’ was hired by the city to clean up the mess. Each employee earned $184,000 in pay, perquisites and pension benefits.
That means San Francisco taxpayers are shelling out an average of $32.75 for every instance of human feces, “and that’s not including the sunk costs in trucks, fuel, and equipment such as the steam cleaning unit,” writes Andrzejewski.
The problem has been exacerbated by the city’s growing homeless population, which in turn is linked to the increasing number of junkies on the streets. This hasn’t stopped the government handing out some 5.8 million free syringes a year.
Discarded syringes then have to be cleaned up just like the poop.
No wonder rich liberals are fighting against a proposal to build a new homeless shelter near their gated mansions.
Welcome to your new leftist utopia!
