San Francisco or Mumbai? UN envoy encounters homeless life in California
2018-01-23
In which the Guardian, supported by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, goes looking for problems to accuse the Republican president of that were invisible during Democratic president Barack Obama’s time in office — and finds them in the very Democratic state of California.
[Guardian] Leilani Farha was being given a walking tour in central San Francisco. Near a thronged artisanal grocery store and a food-truck park, she saw something under a freeway that gave her pause.

A young homeless man sat on the ground. He wore two pairs of jeans and had a hood pulled over his long brown hair. Before him was a crockpot filled with burning paper, over which he was heating tortillas in a dirty skillet. As cars, cyclists and tech commuter buses rushed past, white smoke poured into the darkening air.

"The last time I saw cooking on a sidewalk," Farha said, "was in Mumbai."

#5  I think Fred assigned me "seafoam" as it's frothy, annoying and has no permanent presence or impacts

#1  Holy moly, did he just call Mumbai a shithole? Censure the UN immediately!

San Francisco shit on the streets map. They have so much of it that someone won an award for taking data from the city's system and displaying it like this. San Fran is a literal shithole.
