While waiting for the order to come, out side in the intermittent sun and it was suggested I take my grandson up the street so he wouldn't fidget too much. We got to a little driveway with these two signs.
This is obviously a recurrent problem because this person went to great lengths and spent a bit of cash to make these signs.
I stopped at the end of the last sentence to check if he did post any video of violators on Youtube. Closest I could find was this video about using pee-repelling paint in San Francisco. It causes the liquid to bounce back on the perpetrator. Probably not helpful for homeless people who don't have easy access to clean clothes or a washing machine.
[If you're visually impaired, the top picture shows a no-peeing sign (silhouette of a man peeing with a red circle and line through it) and then two other images. First a man peeing against the wall, then a Youtube sign. The second picture shows a metal sculpture of a tow truck pulling a car.]
Sure fooled me. Before I read the whole story, I was thinking this guy probably chained a coastal brown bear to his bumper in the driveway. That would keep me from taking a leak in that particular zip code.
ReplyDeleteIt actually turned out funnier your way. Dang it!
I understand the frustration one might feel if this happened regularly. Homelessness is the main culprit for the first problem. It's an American disgrace. The LA Times has been doing a series on homelessness in LA.
DeleteThe parking problem can have more immediate consequences as you try to back out of your garage and there's a car blocking you.
With all the rich tech companies and their employees here, you'd think they could come up with some humane approaches to homelessness. And downtown SF already had a high walkability score, not sure about how to improve the parking.
