At least he was keeping it to himself!

But in fact, this is a big issue for many cities. Many homeless people don't dress well or look presentable, and have behavior issues. If private businesses won't allow them to use their restrooms, and shelters aren't open during the day - exactly what are they supposed to do?

And pknopp - I hope you will be the first to volunteer for cleanup duty around dumpsters. Surely you wouldn't demand that some minimum-wage janitor do a job that you won't do?
LOL....they don't have to clean it up in the middle of the sidewalk?

Oh sure, some poor wage-slave winds up doing it either way. But I'm not the one recommending one as an alternative to the other!

Can't they strap poop bags on the azz of those people much like the NY Central Park horses ?

At least provide those little Doggie bag stations so they can pickup after themselves. I'm positive they will.

Where's the EPA?

The EPA should be all over this, since it is clearly an environmental hazard.

They poop like crazy all along the Santa Monica shore. They have to also call escalator maintenance to remove the piles of poop below that gets into the mechanism.

You ban them loitering in certain areas and give permission on a smaller area.

We've turned into a third-world, banana republic. Disgusting.

Are you aware there are over 200 Sanctuary Cities in the US?

And I sure did not realize that Houston, Ft. Worth (actually the great liberal state of Texas has 13 Sanctuary Cities), Phoenix, Tuscon (the liberal state of Arizon has 4) , Anchorage, Tulsa, etc. were so very liberal! Good to know.
