Nancy Pelosi helps Trump create good jobs. Starting pay range of the "poop patrol", base salary, of $71,760 — $184,678.


They will earn every penny of it if they show up and do the job to clean up Nancy's city. With no restrictions to stop human waste being deposited on the streets, it should be a lasting job too.

Thanks Nancy !!! We should give credit to job creators and their policy no matter who they are.

Looks like a great model to increase employment. Create the problem with policy. Then solve it by hiring people to clean up the mess. The future is bright and getting brighter everyday.

You know, I would totally clean up the crappy streets of San Francisco for $185,000. I'd just do it for a year, and with that money use it to get the hell out of this state. Commute isn't that far.

$71,760 is not a lot of money in San Francisco. A person can still qualifies for affordable housing with that salary.

If this is fair, San Francisco should be allowed to bill the red states who keep sending their people to camp on our streets.

Maybe they could send a bill to the Central and South American countries for payment too.
If fairness is a real issue. They could stop the invitations advertising sanctuary city status too. Its not really fair to invite and then make them pay when they show up. The invitation should disclose the required cover charge.

Funny thing is, I have never encountered an illegal camping on the street. The homeless always speak perfect English (even the crazy ones) who left families behind in faraway places to dwell outdoors in our beautiful weather.

Think about it, the illegals don't come here to sleep on the sidewalks; they can do that back home. They came here to work so they have money and can afford rent.

Exactly!!!!!

10,000 homeless got fed up with sleeping on the streets and took SF's offer to buy bus tickets for them to return home. These are people who traveled far to reach SF and greyhound tickets home are expensive because they are from so far away, so they needed the city's assistance.

Thanks for making the point for me.

So if you haven't encountered them they don't exist. Thousands of them !!! In cities up and down the coast of Ca.
Did you profile them, ask for ID or citizenship papers. They might have taken off thinking you were ICE enforcement.

I guess finding a solution to provide public rest rooms costs more than paying people to pick up human s***,

I think you've never been to a real city, so you don't know what it's like here.

Far majority of the homeless are Whites and the remaining are Blacks. You rarely ever hear Spanish speaking homeless persons; I'm sure they exist, but it's the exception not the rule. It's not like they hide from you; you pass by the homeless and you can hear them talk among themselves in perfect English. They panhandle in perfect English. And the crazy ones will scream the latest conspiracy theories in perfect English. In fact, I think Breitbart gets some of their stories from the crazy ones.

Sometimes I talk to them. Sometimes they talk to me. Many homeless are friendly, some are not. The homeless who talked to me almost always asked for directions because they are new to the city. I have been asked where is this place. "San Francisco" I replied. I have been asked how to get back to San Francisco. "This is still San Francisco. I think you want to know how to get back to SOMA." The homeless who are in the northern part of SF are usually new to the city and doing their "sight seeing". Those in SOMA and surrounding area have settled down and are more concerned with day to day survival.

The other day, a homeless man in a wheelchair asked me for help. He literally just arrived in the city that day - got off the bus, followed the tourists to Embarcadero, and wheeled himself along the bay to Fisherman's Wharf. He asked me for bus money and direction to the bus stop. I offered to wheel him there because he had to go uphill one block. He told me he grew up in Kansas and served in the army. I gave him $40 and wished him luck. You guys make fun of the homeless problem but it's no joke. These are real people from poor places who came to SF as a last resort for survival. They want to escape Middle America and keep traveling west or east hoping to find their sanctuary; until they reach the coast and then they realize this is it; there is no salvation waiting for them; just more of the same but at least the weather here is nice. So they stay and it becomes the coastal cities' problems.

But more common are the "dreamers". The small town girl/boy from Middle America with no degree, little skill, no job lined up; who moved to SF to couch surf on a friend/distant relative's house. Then no surprise he/she couldn't find a job, got kicked out of the house, and ended up on the streets.
