SAN FRANCISCO IS NOW UTILIZING URINE REPELLENT PAINT TO
AVOID THE SMELL OF URINE ON
BUILDINGS THROUGHOUT THE CITY.
MANY HOMELESS PEOPLE WILL
URINATE ONTO BUILDINGS BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE.
SO,
INSTEAD OF SPENDING MONEY ON TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO
WITH HOMELESSNESS, OR MAYBE PROVIDING MORE PUBLIC BATHROOMS,
THEY'RE LIKE, WE GOT
IT, URINE REPELLENT PAINT.
IN THE CITY OF HAMBURG, BUILDINGS ARE PAINTED
WITH A UNIQUE URINE REPELLENT PAINT.
WHEN AN INDIVIDUAL
DECIDES TO WHIZ ON A WALL, THE
PAINT CAUSES THE URINE TO QUITE
LITERALLY BOUNCE OFF THE WALL AND ONTO THE GUILTY PARTY, AND
THEY GET URINE ON THEIR SHOES AND PANTS.
GOOD FOR
US, LET'S MAKE THE HOMELESS PEOPLE SMELL LIKE URINE.
THEY THINK THIS
WILL SAVE
EVERYBODY FROM HAVING TO SMELL
URINE ALL OVER THE STREETS.
IF YOU HAVE EVER BEEN SAN FRANCISCO,
YOU CAN EMPATHIZE WITH THAT.
WHENEVER I GO THERE, IT IS DIRTY
AND IT SMELLS LIKE URINE, SO I GET IT.
ON THE OTHER HAND, DOES IT HELP TO HAVE THE HOMELESS
SMELL LIKE URINE?
THIS IS A BAND-AID ON A MUCH LARGER PROBLEM.
IT IS SO
SYMBOLIC OF HOW WE HANDLE ISSUES
IN THE U.S.. HOMELESS PEOPLE HAVE NO CHOICE.
THEY DON'T WANT
TO PEE IN PUBLIC.
EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT HOMELESS, BUT YOU WERE
RUNNING AROUND WORKING OR DOING SOMETHING ON THE ROAD, HOW
INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT IS IT TO FIND A PLACE TO RELIEVE
YOURSELF?
EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT HOMELESS, YOU RUN INTO THAT
PROBLEM.
WHY DON'T PEOPLE IN THE CITY ASKED FOR PUBLIC BATHROOMS?
WHY IS THAT SO DIFFICULT?
I WOULD MUCH RATHER DO THAT INSTEAD OF DO THIS
REPELLENT PAINT AND USE THE BAND-AID FOR A BIG PROBLEM.
I UNDERSTAND, AND THERE ARE SOME LIBERALS IN SAN FRANCISCO
SAYING THIS IS A HORRIBLE ATTACK ON THE HOMELESS, BUT YOU HAVE TO
DO THE COUNTER OFFER.
YOU CANNOT JUST SAY OKAY LET'S LET
THEM PEE ON THE WALLS, SO I THINK THE RIGHT COMPROMISE HERE
IS, DO THIS, AND WITH THE MONEY YOU ARE SAVING, BUILD A PUBLIC
RESTROOM.
I THINK THAT'S A GOOD COMPROMISE.
YOU CAN'T JUST LIBERAL OUT AND SAY LET THEM PEE EVERYWHERE.
IF YOU ARE A CONSERVATIVE YOU FEEL LIKE YOU GOT THE HOMELESS?
I GOT THEM TO PEE ON THEMSELVES AND NOW I FEEL BETTER
ABOUT MYSELF?
ARE YOU REALLY THAT HORRIBLE THE PERSON?
THE
CITY HAS SAVED MONEY, SO USE THAT MONEY TO BUILD PUBLIC
RESTROOMS SO THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO HAVE THESE INHUMANE
CONDITIONS.
MOST OPEN-MINDED MAN IN AMERICA.
THAT'S WHAT I’M HERE FOR, TO SOLVE PEOPLE'S PROBLEMS.
NO BIG DEAL
